Thanks to Will at the Anti-Snob music blog for listing The Father Figures on his best of 2011 mix CD:

23. “K Is Dead” by The Father Figures (Lesson Number One)

So only one local band makes my Best of 2011 mix. The Father Figures are a power trio featuring members of Hillbilly Devilspeak, JFA, and The Voice. Bassist-turned-guitar-extraordinaire Michael Cornelius lays down some heavy Mission Of Bruma inspired chord slashing while the rhythm section of bassist/vocalist Tom Reardon and drummer Bobby Lerma are easily a less-complicated, yet still worthy version of Lally/Canty. If you only have the budget to buy one local band this year then I recommend buy The Father Figures debut CD from CDBABY.
