Much has changed for That’s Him! That’s the Guy! since the release of Help Me, I’m on Fire, the pair’s debut EP. Joseph’s other band, Canada, found itself leading the charge in a burgeoning Ann Arbor scene, releasing and touring in support of their album, This Cursed House. An Army Life, the first full-length from That’s Him! That’s the Guy!, comprised of David Martin and Joseph Scott. Featuring members of Frontier Ruckus, An Army Life is a deceptively simple, yet supremely intense record.

That’s The Guy!, is what you wish your college roommates sounded like when they got drunk and started playing guitar. Clear, unpolished vocals harmonize over little more than plucked guitar and banjo, calling to mind an earthier Oh No! Oh My! or Kings of Convenience.” |
