More on this month's featured artist.
The Sound Of Growing Up started as an acoustic solo project by singer/songwriter Justin Kao (kay-oh) in the spring of 2008. A Boston transplant via Long Island, NY, Kao began playing shows and open mics in the Boston area, building up a network of local friends and musicians. These musicians make up a revolving cast of band members that support The Sound Of Growing Up both on stage and in the recording studio.
“Drifting” is due out early 2011

Regarding the track "Drifting"
Have you ever heard, or possibly even considered what the post-modern doo-wop sound might be? Especially if it was backed by what sounds to be an oddly-amped ukulele? Is this truly The Sound of Growing Up, or is this the sound of the last human in future world, a human who has taught his robotic companions how to clap in rhythm, use a tambourine and of course play that weird electro-uke. Ignoring the grim reminder of humanity's future demise, one realizes that one can really get into the oddly off-kilter sound of the appropriately titled "Drifting." The sound of youth is tempered by the "Oh, well" tone of the vocals, as if the singer is somewhat exasperated. You want to help him, but you also delight in earnest, chin-up spirit of the performance. Maybe he'll survive after all, with a little help from the robots, God knows there are plenty of them hanging around at the Stata Center, so hang in there, little buddy. (Boston Band Crush)
"This is seriously the best band I've heard during my time at Lasell." (Justin Miller, Lasell College Radio Program Director)
"I can tell you that [The Sound Of Growing Up] is far and away the best band that has reached out to us. This band has a big upside." (Dennis Hennessey, CEO Sugarpop Records)
