Birthmark is Nate Kinsella - the incredible drummer of Make Believe/Joan of Arc, and cousin to Tim and Mike Kinsella (Owen, Cap'n Jazz, Joan of Arc, Owls, etc.). We've been fans of Nate Kinsella for years, but even his impressive pedigree couldn't prepare us for Birthmark's debut album "Antibodies". Released last year on Polyvinyl, "Antibodies" is our collective *favorite album of the year* over here at Joyful Noise.
