New Music Picks

Imagine Dragons 

 A band I never really paid attention to til a couple months ago. (I'm lame I know). These guys hail from Provo and Las Vegas so they're pretty much all local guys. I really dig their ep and can't wait for their album coming out in September. Check out them live on Leno! 

Passion Pit
I loved their old cd and the new one that came out a couple weeks ago doesn't disappoint. I might enjoy it more because the vocals I feel are much more refined and the songs are just as catchy as ever. I was so upset when they had to cancel their show in SLC, but thankfully I have their new album to tide me over.

Kimbra
I saw her at foster the people and really liked how much emotion she exuded during her brief set and extra song she sang with foster the people later that night. She also has a style I find refreshing.

Avett Brothers

Ive become obsessed with them ever since I saw them live a few weeks ago. They played this new song off their upcoming record and it's made the wait unbearable. Check out other songs like "at the beach" and "November blue" on YouTube as well.

Lumineers
You've probably heard the song "ho hey" on a few tv commercials, but the band is far from a one hit wonder. They have a folksy sound similar to blindpilot and head and the heart. Highest recommend!

Of Monsters and Men
In the same vein of Lumineers we have this band from iceland who have gotten increasingly popular from their single "little talks" being played on the radio. Check out this amazing live acoustic version!

I can't make your heart feel something it won't

One of my favorite songs right now and probably one of the best covers I've heard 

I guess you could call this THE LIST

Thrice

Ever since going to the Warped Tour back in high school I've always been a really big fan of music and specifically concerts. I LOVE concerts. Some of my friends have asked me how many concerts I've been to and I've had a hard time putting together a list...until now. These are all the bands that I've seen live (some at the same concert).

Fall by Windsor Drive

I want to see you now,
In my darkest hour,
When nothing is for real,
Bring back the chance to feel,

Pre chorus:
I would like to tell you something,
That you ought to know,

Chorus:
Do what you do best,
And if the ground should crumble and fall,
When love puts you to the test,
Just fall on me, {fall}

Verse 2:
Undress yourself and I,
Will fill these walls with the thoughts that we’ve painted,
Of a love gone stale,
And of a heart mistreated,

Pre chorus:
I would like to tell you something,
That you ought to know,

Chorus:
Do what you do best,
And if the ground should crumble and fall,
When love puts you to the test,
Just fall on me, {fall}
Just fall on me, (fall)

You can call me what you’d like,
Beat me down ‘til you don’t recognize me,
But I will not give up the fight,
Won’t back down, I won’t apologize,
You still leave me drunk,
You still leave me drunk,
You still leave me drunk,
You still leave me drunk, in love

Do what you do best,
And if the ground should crumble and fall,
When love puts you to the test,
Just fall on me, (fall)
Do what you do best,
And if the ground should crumble and fall,
When love puts you to the test,
Just fall on me, (fall)
Just fall on me, (fall)
