Positive Music: Carter Lou & The Project – “Do Or Die”

Carter Lou & The Project

“Do Or Die”

Carter Lou & The Projects

Here is a band that started under some of that saddest circumstances ever.  Lead by Washington, D.C.-based musician Carter Louthian, Carter Lou & the Project’s beginnings stem from tragic circumstances. The night before he was set to go to college, Lou snapped: his two best friends had recently killed themselves a day apart, and his girlfriend had just broken his heart. Considering how rough the band’s birth was, it’s amazing how upbeat Carter Lou & The Projects are.  This is a tremendous song, strong, uplifting, with some of the most sparkling production ever.  Think Tom Petty with clearer vocals.  This is a band that has broken the odds and broken the mold.  I predict great things from them.
