Band on the Run (See Jane Jam)

I love into music.  I come from a family who celebrates music in different ways (ex: dad plays guitar and was in a band, mom sang and danced to the rolling stones around the kitchen, etc), so this art has always been encouraged.  That’s not to say I’ve always agreed with my family (or they’ve agreed with me) in my choice of tunes.  I received my fair share of mocking for liking the Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls in 6th grade from my siblings and my dad detested the band Incubus and forbade me to listen to them in 9th grade.  Later in high school, I would head up to Detroit for concerts, much to my parent’s dismay.  Now, at the ripe old age of 25, I can appreciate these experiences that took place during my formative years and say they helped shape the music I listen to today.

Here are some new bands that I’ve been enjoying:

Also be sure to check out Hockey, The Walkmen, Avi Buffalo, Marina + the Diamonds and Miike Snow.
