Megaphone Barons – Managerie

From a basement near the National Zoo emerges Washington DC’s most melodious answer to socio-political events: The Megaphone Barons. This trio of wanderers from California, Northern Virginia and Russia (by way of Idaho) fuses Sonic Youth-inspired tension rock with nontraditional instrumentation (violin, accordion, charango and bombo) underlying dark-yet-playful commentary on today’s burning issues.
I had the pleasure of mastering this record this summer. A band that’s impossible to pigeonhole, Megaphone Barons are a band to keep your eye out for. A dense mix yet only 3 members. You can buy Managerie here.
