Who knew that under the gruff and sweat-drenced Punk exterior exhibited by Mike Smith when onstage with The Obvious breathed a soulful crooner capable of driving a composition, not with the powerful bludgeon of his Grunge-Rock bass plucking, but instead on a stream of velvet-coated vocal work as the face of Asbury Park’s own peace-preaching purveyor, Earthman.
The five-man collective acts as another guardian of good vibes in our musical hub by the sea, delivering a message of hope, unity, and togetherness via its brand of Alternative Indie-Rock drawing influence from such proponents of the feel-good musical epic as Tears For Fears and Nobuo Uematsu, or the composer of scores for the entire Final Fantasy series.
Check out Earthman’s latest music video for its new song “Peace” below, and be sure to catch the band at The Saint on Friday May 18th with Burlap To Cashmere, and on Saturday June 16th at FIXX in Red Bank, NJ.
