More Bands You Should Listen To!

That's right, it's time once again for: MORE BANDS YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO! (If you want to look cool)

We'll start with a British electro-punk band called Does It Offend You, Yeah?. Rolls of the tongue, don't it! These guys are awesome, and have that right mix of synthy trance like keyboard and awesome distorted guitar. Their first and only(To my knowledge) album is You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into, and it's really good. Two tracks worth listening to are Dawn of the Dead and Attack of the 60 Ft. Lesbian Octopus.

The next band is one hailing from my hometown of Baltimore, Animal Collective. Comprised of Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin and Geologist. Their latest album, Merriwhether Post Pavillion, is named after a famous venue in Columbia, MD. Tracks to definitely check out from that album are Brother Sport and My Girls. Also listen to the songs Peacebone and Chores, off their album Strawberry Jam, and Safer, from the Peacebone EP.

The final band today is a great math rock band known as Hella. Now, I don't know much about the background of the people of Hella, but I can tell you that they know how to rock and they show it, with songs like World Series and 2012 and Countless from "There's No 666 In Outer Space" it's easy to see why they're in this list. Also check out the album Hold Your Horse Is.

That's all for now, but I'm gonna end with a plug to my good friend Justin's blog, Tone Soul Evolution (http://tonesoul.blogspot.com/). And with that, I am off! Toodles!
