John Solomon of Communist Daughter

Fortunately reports of Solomon’s musical retirement were greatly exaggerated and he’s back with a new band, Communist Daughter - featuring fellow former FLT-er Adam Switlick on bass, drummer Steve Yasgar and guitarist Jonathan Blaseg -which pursues mellower musical terrain than FLT but is similarly generous in the catchy hook department. Solomon’s currently putting the finishing touches on Communist Daughter’s debut, but in the meantime Reveille got a sneak preview of the goods in the form of two exclusive live solo acoustic performances.

Thanks to John Solomon and the Glad Version for their time and effort. Video production courtesy of Dan Schuchman and Erik Nelson, audio production by Tor Johnson.
