About the artist

This just in: New Orleans has some great music. Crazy, right? In all seriousness, though, NOLA isn’t exactly known for is punk and indie rock, but we’ve got the premiere of an awesome new album that bucks that trend.

Donovan Wolfington is a New Orleans-area punk band that has turned dark times and some quick growing up into a diversely alluring sophomore album called How to Treat the Ones You Love. It started off on a Green Day tip and wound up being shaped by the death of a close friend and collaborator. It ranges from the breezy hooks of “Mercurus” to a spoken word rumination on shame and sin over hardcore guitars called “Locusts.”
