Twin Forks/SERYN/By Light We Loom

Singer-guitarist Chris Carrabba started out playing hardcore punk rock with Further Seems Forever. He then switched gears with the emo-punk act Dashboard Confessional. And he’s now embraced folk-rock with Twin Forks. Last year's self-titled debut, which pairs him with mandolin player Suzie Zeldin, bassist Jonathan Clark and drummer Ben Homola, features a collection of upbeat, folk-inspired tunes that’ll appeal more to fans of, say, Mumford and Sons than of the Promise Ring.
