Family of the Year’s breakout hit was “Hero,” a track that was prominently featured in director Richard Linklater’s Oscar winning film Boyhood. But one song doesn’t define an outfit or ensure their longevity, and melancholic (and melodic) tunes as “Bitter Mind” and “Let Her Go” find the outfit in a creatively inspired space. The group consists of Joe Keefe (vocals, guitar), Sebastian Keefe (drums, vocals), James Buckey (guitar, vocals), and Christina Schroeter (keyboards, vocals).
Blessed with wonderful harmonies, spot on musicianship, and eloquent (and clear-eyed) storytelling, Family of the Year is definitely a band I hope to catch somewhere down the road. If you’ve seen them perform live, I’d love to hear your thoughts (please comment below!).
