Family of the Year is an American indie band from Los Angeles, California consisting of members Sebastian Keefe, Joseph Keefe, Christina Schroeter, and James Buckey.They appear to have shrunk from the six piece band they used to be.
Though Family of the Year is currently based in Los Angeles, California, brothers Joseph and Sebastian Keefe were born in Wales, and moved to Martha's Vineyard. James Buckey is from Jacksonville, FL, while Christina Schroeter is from Orange County, CA. Prior to forming Family of the Year members Joeseph Keefe, and Sebastian Keefe enjoyed local Boston success in previous bands Unbusted and The Billionaires.
So the all American band is half Welsh, go figure. They definitely have a modern take on the Beach Boys vibe. Unlike the Beach Boys they can sing live. Just me.
They have this new EP out called St Croix, with the title track being a summery happy sounding St Croix.
Make sure to check it out.
