Singer/songwriter Burd Early made his debut in 2000 by introducing the
world to his dirt-road indie rock. Bittersweet like Elliott Smith and Death
Cab for Cutie but dark and mysterious like Joe Henry and Lou Barlow, Early
is a native New Yorker. He can be found playing club shows in and around
the city. In summer 2002, he participated in the VPRO Festival in Holland,
promoting his debut album “Magnet Mountain.” (Allmusic Guide)
The Strugglers’ Randy Bickford is a modern folk rock artist in the
tradition of Neil Young or Dylan. Every so often you discover a diamond in
the rough like the Strugglers. You listen, and start comparing: Who do
these guys sound like? Maybe early Guided by Voices, Magnetic Fields, early
Will Oldham, definitely Smog. Lo-fi, a bit on the gloomy side, but always
solid. (
