The Usual Things

Led by singer/songwriter Aaron Shekey (pronounced she-key), The Usual Things mix power pop melodies with southern inspired story telling, reminiscent of their mid-western roots and big city aspirations. Shekey references his own blue-collar family experiences with relatable ambiguity; tales that push the simple, upbeat melodies of the band into surprisingly darker territory. “Incredible songs and solid musicianship without indie haircuts or too-tight pants. Please God, send more.” -Maximum Ink
