If you’ve ever been a nine to fiver in New York City you’ll know that walking through the subway with the hordes of grumpy New Yorkers can be borderline existential. It can make you feel small, insignificant, and the realization that you are indeed one of the billions of people in the world trying to float in life becomes very real. Bronx-born Sal Mastrocola is the guy behind the project, No Nets, and he’s got a lot to say on the matter. "Nobody wants to be average, but that’s all I’ve become" he sings on his song "Average" off his debut album, Affabel & Ready For Small Talk. The album is a compelling tribute to the feeling of being just another one in a million. The subjects are carried through both the creative high to low dynamics, and Mastrocola’s confident vocal and lyrical sensibility, amounting to an infectiously catchy pop record. You can catch No Nets at Fontanas Bar this Wednesday (8/13) and stream the song "Average" below. – Jake Saunders
