Jon Mckiel is the steady, stalwart son of the East Coast. Consistent and prolific, we haven’t stopped spinning his brilliant record “Memorial Ten Count” (You’ve Changed Records) since it dropped in 2017. Characterized by intricate guitar arrangements and constantly surprising melodic progressions, McKiel’s music is chalked full of vital guitar rock, equal parts blister-forming-grit and punch-drunk-wistfulness. He’s our boy. Let’s give our boy a nice welcome back.
