So I went to a pretty kickass concert two days ago; The Pains of being Pure at Heart with Surfer blood and Hooray for Earth! I didn't really know anything about the opening opening band Hooray for Earth but when i finally did hear them I was quite impressed! So to start off my June playlist, I'm gonna go with some Hooray for Earth and new Pains of Being Pure At Heart material.
Hooray For Earth! - Comfortable, Comparable
This was their second song in the opening song I believe, and my favorite.
The Pains of Being Pure At Heart - Say No To Love
Their newest release...I rather liked it, but I'm biased I bought a T shirt from them ha.
The Young Veins - Change
Ok ok...so they sound slightly "Beatles-esque" although it has enough country grit to squeeze by...you know the scariest part? This band was born out of the ashes of Panic at the Disco...now that IS frightening. After hearing this, I am quite glad they split up due to "creative differences."
Samantha Crain - Lions
She has a slightly wobbly old school voice, but it works, very Regina Spector-esque.
Dawes - When My Time Comes
Slightly melancholy but beautiful.
Bomba Estero - Fuego
Haven't had too much Columbian Dance music on here...or ever...
Kele - Tenderoni
Fine call me biased (again) but as you may all know I am a huge bloc Party and Kele fan...so yeah this was gonna be on the list!!!
Wolf Parade - What Did My Lover Say?
I am waiting in anticipation for this album.
You've got a pretty dope blog. I like Pains a lot as well......but I have to admit - I've never heard of Hooray for Earth......interesting stuff. (Just found it on iTunes...I'll give it a listen.)
