An interview with Boston rocker Tad Overbaugh was featured on the Sept. 15 edition of The Devo Rock Show.
Tracks from Overbaugh’s latest release, Farther From Near (Rum Bar Records) as well as material from his previous band, The Kickbacks were spotlighted.
A native of Swampscott, Mass., Overbaugh got his start in the late 1990s with The Kickbacks, a Boston-based country rock band. They released five records between 1997-2008.
In 2008, Overbaugh opted to go solo and formed Late Arrivals, featuring Kickbacks’ bassist Matthew Arnold and drummer Jon Burton.
On his latest release — the second on Rum Bar Records along with two EPs —
Overbaugh is joined by David Minehan (The Neighborhoods, Paul Westerburg, The Replacements) and former Kickbacks guitarist Shawn Byrne. The record features a mix of country rock songs about the ups and downs of love.
Overbaugh and Minehan co-produced the album, which was recorded at Minehan’s studio, Woolly Mammoth Sound, in Waltham, Mass.
