Our Artist of the Month

Persian Leaps

What started as just a couple of scribbles in the back of a college notebook has turned into quite the success for three men from St. Paul, Minnesota. Singer and guitarist, Drew Forsberg, originally performed alone under the band name while writing original music with a Guided By Voices, My Bloody Valentine, The Smiths vibe.  In 2012, he assembled a full band with Adam Brunner on bass and Mike McCloskey on drums. Their 2013 EP Praise Elephants was successful and praised by NME who said that it featured "celestial guitar jangle." Their latest EP High & Vibrate was released in 2015 and has become a favorite for many at WRFW.
