It’s time to spotlight the indie rock sensation Dear and the Headlights. First off, if you’re an auditory learner, check this link for the Podcast concerning the group. Dear and the Headlights is headed by front-man Ian Metzger. After a bit of a rough inception, the group gained notoriety at an alarming rate; going straight from two small demos to a full record deal with Equal Vision (of Dashboard and Armor For Sleep fame). They are currently hopping from large arena to large arena with Jimmy Eat World and Paramour. Pretty big deal. But I digress, the music is solid, to say the least. They’re a nice break from the plethora of poppy quartets that could be opening for *ahem* Paramour. See for yourself by checking out the Dead and the Headlights Myspace. Again, you can listen to our Podcast (such a handsome voice!), and for the multimedia icing of this virtual cake, this blogger found a picture. How good Papa Tom is to his precious few online readers.
