I’ve got mixed feelings on the “dueling” vocals. The set started off with one guy (Kane) singing the first song then Matthew took over the vocal duties for a bit with Kane behind the drum set. Kane sang at least one more song (while behind the drums), maybe two. This creates a lost identity for the band or at least in this case it did for me.  

Another example of this would be Uncle Tupelo. You’ve got two completely different vocals (Jeff Tweedy & Jay Farrar). Personally, I’m a big fan of Jay, but don’t care for Jeff. I would listen to the songs Jay sung on those albums but skip Jeff’s. Since I’m not familiar with The Northstar Sessions music it wasn’t yet a choice, but felt odd during the live show.

The music was pretty good. The one song that caught my attention was titled “World’s apart.” Also, I was impressed with Matthew’s guitar skills.
