"Take the art of timeless songwriting, infuse it with astounding
instrumental prowess, and throw in the blistering energy and attitude of
the 21st century. What do you get? 28 North. Recently Voted Best Band
in Pittsburgh by Pittsburgh Magazine, the members of the band — Michael
Lindner, Taylor Netzler, Tyler Bond, and Mark Glinka — have been putting
on epic, crowd-pleasing shows all across the U.S. from New York to
California, and everywhere in between. An ever-growing mob of fans has
been coming out to watch 28 North perform with groups like Blues
Traveler, Young the Giant, My Morning Jacket, TV on the Radio, and Crash
Kings. The band has recently signed with legendary manager Jerry Heller
(CCR, CSNY, Elton John, Marvin Gaye, NWA) and relocated to Los Angeles.
28 North has become a Sunset Strip staple regularly performing at The
Roxy, The Viper Room, and House of Blues LA. The groups self titled
record, '28 North' has gotten radio play for 28 North in over 150
markets across the nation. With appearances at the SXSW and CMJ
festivals, 28 North has taken their act over the top with their new
record, "World on Fire". With their unparalleled vocal harmonies,
virtuosic guitar work, polished hook laden songwriting, a rapidly
expanding fan base, and their boundless charisma, it's only a matter of
time before "28 North" is blazing from the stadium lights."
Check out the band at their official Website, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Tumblr, Pandora, SoundCloud and ReverbNation. The L.A. via Pittsburgh band have just signed to Red River Records/Sony Red/Bob Frank Entertainment and return home to celebrate at Altar Bar tomorrow with support from Black Market Diary and Act of Pardon. Also, tomorrow morning they stop by the WDVE Coffeehouse so tune in! I want to thank Michael Lindner (Guitar/Vocals) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

Favorite thoughts,
experiences about Pittsburgh?
I grew up there. My parents grew up there. My grandparents grew up there. It’s where 28 North began. So my favorite experience is life in Pittsburgh.
