5-6PM: Air Traffic Controller
After a buzz filled year, which included a nod from MTV, performing at the Boston Garden, and teaming up with legendary power-pop maestro/producer, Bleu, Air Traffic Controller signed on with Sugarpop Records and released an extraordinary debut, bound to shake up the airwaves in 2010 and into 2011. Singer Dave Munro was overseas, serving in the US Navy as a real-life air traffic controller, sending home songs he'd recorded on his old 4-track. Upon completing his enlistment, Munro returned home to a surprising number of fans in Boston and immediately began constructing a recording studio with his brother, drummer, Rich. As the heartfelt songs trickled out, an acoustic demo of "Don't Tell Me What To Do" reached one of Munro's favorite musical artists, Bleu, who quickly signed on as producer for a full-length debut. The album, entitled "The One", is a charming, yet daring, creation of classic rock proportion and head-turning indie pop freshness, that is proving itself irresistible.
