I think if Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) was a New York resident, preferred biking, and was just a wee big younger, he might sound something like Allison Weiss. The sentimental songstress charts her own misadventures in growing up, growing older, and getting over all the dramas you otherwise might not hear from the girl next door. New record 'The Teenage Years' charts these upsets through the battles fought out in 'Here's the Plan,' and a chilling duet with Chris Mansfield (Fences) in 'Boston.' See her live when she plays Public Assembly on Feb 1. - Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
