Bob Nanna released a new solo acoustic album on July 10 entitled Celebration States on New Granada Records. Nanna had been involved in the Midwestern-emo movement since 1991, fronting Fiction, Braid, Hey Mercedes and more before branching out on his own.
Celebration States follows Nanna as he journals his real-life divorce and the healing process he undergoes. Singles “Do you Want to Buy a Guitar?” and “Come Home,”have both been recently featured on NPR Music’s “New Music Friday.” You can watch the video for the single “Mr Albatross” below.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
