POST SOCIAL 101 CODA: THE DESERT ISLAND ALBUMS

I will forever remain fascinated not only with how much music exists inside of a band but also how much music exists inside of each and every music listener, or in this case, inside of each individual band member. During my interview with Post Social’s Mitch Deitz, Shannon Connor and Brendan Manley, I asked each of them what they most favorite albums, their “Desert Island Albums” happened to be. I hope you not only enjoy this list for the music they enjoy themselves but also to see precisely which works inspired them and perhaps if you listen to Post Social’s music, you just may hear some traces of the music they love the most.
