As I previously stated, the band Dark Dark Dark came out of nowhere this year and put out a little EP called Bright Bright Bright. You can listen to it here. It was unequivocally my favorite release this year. The band's co-leader Marshall was awesome enough to give an interview in March. He was also kind enough, fittingly so, to participate in this final post of the year known as First/Last.

Favorite thoughts/experiences about Pittsburgh?
We've spent a good amount of time in Pittsburgh and in Braddock. We have many
friends there and love a lot of people. We came through on Why? tour and played
at the college, but in the past we've played at the Nerve, at Morning Glory, at
the Cemetery on Easter, and in basements. There is a really great community in Pittsburgh, doing
interesting and important things. While I'm at it, I'll plug The Transformazium
in Braddock. It is a very great and ambitious endeavor, and needs lots of help
and resources.
Thanks so much Marshall. You have been incredibly nice to me this year. It was such a pleasure to finally meet you and hear you play. Your music will always be something very special to me.
