Considering the infrequency of such things it is always an immense pleasure to share things such as this: It is our honor to welcome Charlotte, NC’s Sinai Vessel to the Flannel Family!

Big Awesome’s latest EP Birdfeeder is full of indie-infused punk, its four tracks showing a strong variety among its harsh vocals and infectious melodies. The current three-piece has been proving their name with appearances at Fest 11 & 12 and a 7” release that sold out in minutes. You can name your own price for Birdfeeder on Bandcamp.

Please list all of your band members and their roles in the band. Well, currently it is Colin Czerwinski and John Blanken. We’re the only original members ha. We have Nathan Larson, who plays in Lions, filling in for us to record this new record, so you could pretty much count him in too.   What’s your hometown (or what are your hometowns)? C-PORT! SAVANNAH, GA. R.I.P. CAMOUFLEEZY. And Nathan lives in Knoxville, TN.   How did the band come together? How long has it been? I (Colin) met John at our first practice in 2010, though I knew of him in high school. He played in another band called mitchkramer back then. I (John) met the Goblin at our first practice in 2010, though I knew of him in high school. He played in a band called Snazzy Farts then.   How have you grown since you started? Well, we got older and I (John) got fatter. I guess our tastes in music grew together over the years and we ended up playing the kind of stuff we always wanted to play deep down. When we started, we had a totally different sound. The songs we wrote were great and I’ll always love them, but I feel like we knew we wanted to do something different from Jump Street.    What sets you apart from other bands? If you want to compare us to other “emo/punk” bands, we just kinda bring out a more positive vibe instead of the sad-boy stuff. It’s all about having the best time possible and spreading joy and kindness through our music (John+Goblin).   What’s the best part about being in your band? Besides playing music that we enjoy - probably getting feedback from people about how they enjoy what we’re making musically. It’s honestly the best feeling (Goblin). And we get to sniff each other’s farts on long van rides and that’s always a plus (John). More times than not, influences tend to bleed through. What bands are currently inspiring the music that you’re making? John and I have similar tastes in bands that we like. John loves The Menzingers, Braid, Colossal, Bruce Springsteen, The Slackers, and a ton more. I like the same, along with Piglet, Tera Melos, Monument, and just more math/emo type stuff.(Goblin) We really feed off of each other. We show each other shit we think is rad and nine times out often, the other dude thinks it rules, too. I like tons of stuff, the Goblin likes tons of stuff. We like stuff (John).
