Benchmarks – “Frames” (The Nashville-based indie rock band is led by vocalist/guitarist Todd Farrell Jr., also of Columbus punk vets Two Cow Garage. After a slight stylistic shift and a name change – from Todd Farrell Jr. & The Dirty Birds to Benchmarks - their new album, Our Undivided Attention could be considered a debut and was recently released by Sofaburn Records. On the album, they create a brand of punk-inspired rock that equally pulls the nostalgia strings for 90’s emo as well as straight-forward rock like The Replacements along with heady lyrics and sharp hooks.)
