There has been much discussion on both or blog and forums about the use of music in film and its extereme importance, but I’m here to tell you that music can be pretty sweet on its own as well. That is why I bring you the Top 5 bands which the DuoGroup says listen up to:
1. Ghostland Observatory - the lead singer sounds like a mix between Freddy Mercury and that guy from RAGE – plus he wears a cape…
2. Kings of Leon - saw them in person at the one and only VOGUE in Indy, and have loved them ever since.
3. Spoon – These guys have been around for a while, but their new stuff GAGAGAGAGA is amazing.
4. Sufjan Stevens – The first album I bought of his was completely on accident, the rest were completely on purpose…
5. T-PAIN – I’m totally kinding on this one. (No I’m not, I secretly love T-Pain…and the website rocks…)
Whatchayall listenin’ to?
Silly blogger! Yes, the lead singer (Aaron Behrens) is frequently compared to Freddy Mercury and has been influenced by Zack de la Rocha, BUT it’s the other dude (Thomas Turner) the synth, beats and keyboard wizard who wears the cape. Aaron just sticks with the braids, aviator shades and wonderfully tight pants! And it all equals kick ass!
Touche! I first saw them on Austin City Limits – and you are right – if you haven’t seen that performance then you really need to, Bloc Party kicked it as well…
