What Difference Does It Make: Scott McCaughey Gets His Oar On The Minus 5

Imagine someone unfamiliar with Scott McCaughey, asking him the name of his band. It's not an easy question to answer. 

Over a four decade career, indie rock cult hero, Scott McCaughey, has been a member of so many bands, including R.E.M., Young Fresh Fellows, Baseball Project, Filthy Friends, and Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3, to name a few. But The Minus 5 has remained one of the most enduring projects of his storied résumé. 

And now, after a five year hiatus, The Minus 5 return with their album, Oar On, Penelope!. 

Scott steps into our virtual studio, and we soon learn that the immediate, relatively unadorned, and somewhat more positive music on the album matches up perfectly with the man.
