Music Makes the World Go 'Round

So...here's a little bit of what I've been listening to lately: 

The Young Veins: http://www.myspace.com/theyoungveins

These guys are really cool. The music has a nice, old-timey feel to it. Their album "Take a Vacation" came out in 2010, but it sounds like it's from the 1960's, and I like it. 

Say Anything: http://www.myspace.com/sayanything 

Max Bemis' indie-punk band is really edgy with some pretty biting, clever lyrics. Just make sure you only play these songs for people age 18 and over.... 

Fun: http://www.myspace.com/fun 

This band's music is precisely what its title promises: a lot of fun! The genre is indie-pop, but I think it has an almost electronica flavor to it. And the lead singer is Nate Ruess of The Format, another great band. 

Robert Gay: http://www.robertgaymusic.com/home 

This guy is a really talented songwriter and lyricist. His music is a little bit of Americana, a little bit of indie-pop, and a little bit of old-fashioned rock. Check out the music previews on his website from his first album "When This Goes Bad" and his upcoming album "When I Was Young." Check the website soon for the release of "When I Was Young" for purchase.
