Since the Buzzgrinder staff is so lazy, we’ve turned over operations to our friend Jacob Merritt, drummer of Pomegranates, for the day.

I love pop music, and Shapiro is certainly capable of creating it. I have someone who can second that: John Mark Painter (Ben Folds Five, Sixpence None the Richer), who saw the potential and approached the band about recording their full length. Shapiro has a couple snappy EPs to hold us over until Painter puts the final coat on the LP.
RIYL: Ben Folds Five, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Queen, Spoon
i know where that pic was taken…that house is a party pad for sure.
“to hold us over until Painter puts the final coat on the LP.”
Why doesn’t Jacob write for us ALL the time?
Shapiro rules so hard! I always have a good time at their shows and listening to them!
The guys from Shapiro really bring incredible energy no matter the venue. Very Mute Math-y. Definitely a good up and rising talent.
i am in love with the guys, all four of them. they are amazing friends who just so happen to be amazing musicians who have learned so much and come so far since when i first met and heard them play.
they are unique with a unique sound and talent that is unmatched. they are delightful.
josh, i find myself wondering the same thing!
I caught these guys opening for mewithoutyou in VA last winter and they blew me away. It seemed almost as though 1/2 they crowd knew the words to their songs.
great band!
If hooks were babies, Shapiro would have a lot of babies.
Thanks for the post
