Music browsing.

First of all, I would like to thank those listeners who called in and sent us requests this morning. It truly made our first radio broadcast that much more fun.

Okay so I was browing through some music. And here are some stuff that I found blogworthy.

School of Seven Bells.

I feel like this band has a lot of potential, and if they can artistically challange themselves just a little more, they would begin to receive a lot of positive attention. This song in the music video is the combination of pop and shoegaze which I dig, and includes some decent verses, but the chorus does not live up to the rest of the song. Still, expect bigger things from this group.



The Thermals.



The Thermals rock, hard. These guys have punk roots and are not afraid to show off their fast-paced and rebellious music influences. They're lo-fi, but also power-pop. Think Weezer's blue album if they were angry instead of emo. Theyre coming out with a new album soon and have released a new song. The song "Now We Can See" is decent. Maybe the sound is a little too polished for the genre they are comfortable with. Signing on to a bigger label, Kill Rock Stars, might explain this. Nonetheless, I still cant wait to hear their album when it is released.

Now We Can See MP3
Fleet Foxes

This is my favorite Fleet Foxes song, and it came off their Sun Giant EP that was released before their well received debut self-titled album. They made a stop-animation music video for it recently and it's really worth the watch.
