Hayden Karnitz: You may know him as the world’s biggest Exploding In Sound Records fan, or you may not know him at all. It really just depends on how much attention you pay to Twitter.

If you’ve seen his head-scratching EIS-themed tweets or read his oddball interviews with the likes of Krill, Bigs Ups, or Frankie Cosmos, you know that Hayden is not one to mince words when it comes to voicing his often-peculiar musical opinions.

With the EIS “Thank You  For Being A Fan” weekend now upon us, we though it would be a good time to ask Hayden for his take on the bands that are playing. What he sent us was an interesting  list of acts he is most excited to see.

Please note that Hayden’s picks do not necessarily represent the opinions of Allston Pudding (because we’re still a little bit confused by them). To get all the details on the EIS celebration, visit the event page or check out our preview.
