First/Last-Modern Man

 
"Sound of light, fleeting darkness, wave of enlightenment. Droning echoes, whirling, driving, pushing, pulling, morphing the atmosphere. Reverberation, saturation, intoxication. Noise bleeds through a cloud of cascading layers until unity is acquired, lost in a sea of sound. Dark and hypnotic, MM’s live performance also carries a lasting effect. The energy shared between the four-piece spills into the crowd as each member’s presence is fiercely intense. Glenn seems possessed, leading the others and the crowd through some sinister labyrinth of distortion."

Check out the band on Facebook, BandCamp, Twitter, YouTube, SoundCloud, Tumblr and Instagram. Hailing from South Carolina, the band was featured on the Paste 50 States Project and their latest release is the EP, "Small Wave Tapes". My thanks to Davis Allen Glenn (Guitar/Vocals) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

The first album you ever bought?
No clue.

Your last album bought?
My roommate Brian just bought a Can record for Chris's birthday. He lives with us too.

Favorite album of all time?
That's a rough one.

Least favorite/most disappointing album?
That one Darker My Love record after the good one.

Tom Petty, I think.

Last concert?
Some Halloween show where bands pretended to be other bands.

Favorite concert ever?
I've seen Big Business a lot of times, they're rad.

Least favorite concert?
I went to see Primus with my brother for New Year’s. That was horrible.


Any thoughts, experiences about Pittsburgh?
A friend of mine went to the Andy Warhol museum once. His name is Tripp. We used to skate together. I haven't talked to him in quite some time. He has cats and a garden that he likes to talk about. Solid dude.

Thanks, Allen. That's a pretty strong relationship to Pittsburgh you got there, man! Surprised you haven't got the key to the city yet?
