NYC Year End Poll – ALT FOLK Submission: Derrick & The Black Sea Ties in 2nd Place

It can be hard to do the right thing. We all know you want to of course, but for Derrick & The Black Sea, they understand how some things are easier said than done. In ‘Mama,’ Brooklyn singer Derrick Karg wails: "trying to be a man, but I don’t know right from wrong." Poor guy… but, I can relate. The Brooklyn band struggles their way through these issues of growing up and letting go throughout the few scattered tracks they’ve so far released. The honesty is telling, and the lonesome guitars and sparse drums bring it all home. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
