Singer-songwriter Joshua Speers releases his debut major label EP, Human Now, heralded by the lead singles "Oh Brother" and "Stray Bullets". Speers is a blue-collar songwriter, hailing from Delaware.
Speers has explained that while he was in LA, missing the East Coast, experiencing a breakup, the task of being more honest than ever about his experiences was his reason to follow the star. It forced him to see himself in his least comfortable form. The result is Human Now, a reference to a WH Auden poem.
Indeed, the EP is what it felt like to be Speers this past year. It's an all-American ride, full of driving '80s guitar riffs, steady drums and perfectly described by Speers himself as the lovechild of Bruce Springsteen and Carly Rae Jepsen. “Those are my musical parents,” he jokes. “They've been incredibly good to me and provided a very loving supportive household to grow up in.”
