This band's album "Southern Gothic" really had a Black Keys feel to it. They are alt. Rock but they completely have a blues-ish vibe to them. I really enjoyed it. This band is very one sided though, because you will either love or hate them, there really is no in between. Some songs are more up beat than others but overall the album was great and I have been listening to them nonstop!
Songs to listen to:
Felicia - This song is one of their most upbeat songs and is the song that drew me to them.
On My Way Up- This song is slower and is just the lead singer and a piano, definitely has a blues feel to it but by far one of my favorites.
We're Here To Save The Day - this song has a chorus sung by kids and the song is really good, but I know some will hate it haha.
Love Is A Murder- This will probably be the most liked song on the album, it has less blues feel to it and more alt rock.
Empire Of The Sun
Ok this is what you have been waiting for. A band that sounds just like....MGMT! Empire of The Sun is at the state MGMT was when they released Kids, Time To Pretend, and Electric Feel... when nobody knew who they were! This is where Empire of the Sun is and they are easily making songs to that high of level. Their songs, "We Are The People" and "Walking On A Dream" are amazing. This band is legit and has a little Kooks in them too. So picture MGMT and The Kooks having a kid and that is this band. Seriously listen!
