Admittedly, I first got interested in this band because of the common name, but for years now their 2010 debut album “Pickin’ Up the Pieces” has been a mainstay on my music library. I also had the privilege of seeing the Tantrums rock the Boston House of Blues a year ago. Although we are not brothers by blood, Michael Fitzpatrick and I are brothers by soul, if white guys are indeed allowed to say that.
