Tim Barry of Avail
Tim Barry’s been kicking around the musical underground for nearly 20 years, first as the front man for Virginia punk heroes Avail, and more recently as a singer-songwriter with a penchant for constructing beautiful folk and country tunes. Dude’s been particularly busy the past few years, gigging relentlessly, including a couple months on the inaugural Revival Tour with fellow travelers Chuck Ragan, Ben Nichols, and Tom Gabel, and generating a steady stream of recordings. In late 2009 he’ll release a split 7” EP with pal Frank Turner (a co-release by Epitaph and Suburban Home), while 2010 will see the arrival of 28th and Stonewall, Barry’s third full length recording, a masterful collection of heartsick dirges, wry commentary, and upbeat stomp-alongs (Suburban Home).
Josh Small

I met Josh like many people have, through his playing in Tim Barry’s band. Josh, though, is about to make a name for himself through his incredible debut album for Suburban Home, “Tall by Josh Small”. “Tall” is 12 beautiful songs that recall folk from the 70’s or as I like to explain a bluesy roots rock. Whatever you call it, know that finding an artist like Josh is one in a million. He is a talented multi-instrumentalist who can also sing and write and just one of those folks that makes you realize your lack of musical talent. Contrary to his talents, Josh is an incredibly down to earth person who is humble and easy to talk to. I guess that is what made the biggest impression on me. That and one night when we all got drunk together, he convinced me that Bears and Dogs were related.
