Everybody Else - An Alternative To The Jonas Brothers Et Al...
If you have not heard this band - please take a moment to check them out. I really like them. They tap in to the power pop genre. They are catchy as hell, but great. I think anyone who listens to modern pop like The Jonas Brothers etc. should do themselves a favor and try these guys. I'm hoping to turn my best friend's neice on to them.
And if you are scratching your heads wondering why I am even mentioning The Jonas Brothers on this blog - you'll see, I hope, that these guys are what good pop is all about. Maybe they will expand the tastes of that Disney lover in your life. Or the tastes of that indie music snob?
"Meat Market" by Everybody Else (it's way groovy)
"Button For Punishment" a slower, clever play on words.
