Being a blog buzz band is so hard these days, from the pressure to constantly perform and deliver an amazing set, to the bloggers hanging on your every action, to the obsessive fans illegally sharing your music on message boards. Yeah, life is certainly rough when you’re an up-and-coming artist.
Case in point: Justin Vernon, a.k.a. Bon Iver. His self-released debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, garnered such rave reviews that Jagjaguwar Records scooped him up recently.
Thankfully, Vernon has got a good head on his shoulders, because his buzz doesn’t seem to be dying down any time soon. And if Vernon needs any tips on how to deal with the hype, he can surely ask touring mate, Elvis Perkins, who has received his own fair share of critical acclaim over the past year.
