#6, PAINTED SHIELD 2
We got our first taste of Painted Shield's sophomore effort back in the summer of 2021, but it wasn't until May this year that the full album got to us. With Mason Jennings on vocals their music sounds nothing like Pearl Jam, and with the elevation of Brittany Davis to vocals on nearly half of this album, Painted Shield blew our minds this year more than ever.
We can't wait to see them live in March at SXSW!
