75 or Less album reviews has a philosophy born out of frustration:

The idea was born during our daily music chats, while discussing reviews we'd read. There was only one thing we consistently agreed on: they were too long. It seemed the point of how the music sounded and whether or not it was good was lost in an overlong mess of lyric quotes, personal accounts and a seemingly desperate attempt to fulfill a word count.
Eventually someone said, "It's gotten to the point where if you can't say it in 75 words or less, you should shut the fuck up". Within a week, 75orless.com was born. The best part about our limit is its reversal of typical music reviews. We limit the amount of words we use, and are not required to reach a number.

The Avett Brothers hail from North Carolina. The music of this trio is best described as acoustic cow punk with politics thrown in. They can, however, come up with a mellow song like November Blue. The only thing that is certain about The Avett Brothers' future is that it will be filled with shows, shows, and more shows.

Over the past year, the trio have made clear half of what makes them great are their live performances, entertaining and enchanting a wide, diverse audience -- a handful of live clips can be found on YouTube. They can, however, come up with a mellow song like November Blue.

The Avett Brothers:
Seth Avett: vocals, guitar
