Of Monsters and Men

LOVE this song!
The first time I heard them I instantly thought of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. I wouldn't be surprised if it was this summer's "Home", it's got a real nice anthem vibe to it. I bet after they tour this spring/summer they will be a household name, a long way from being some great band from Iceland that no one has gotten the chance to hear. And when I say no one I mean around a solid million hits on youtube.
As a matter of fact, I got a text from some nut-job named Boneface to check it yesterday and low and behold I had Shazamed a month ago on January 18th. Kiiid, gotta love it when you beat somebody to the punch, especially some fruitloop from Slumberville. But hey, speaking of whackos look at me, I'm pretty much talking to myself on this blog, not one visitor yet.

I don't know if Of Monsters and Men realize what fame is about to come their way, but they deserve it.
Not too shabby that the bands show was moved from the Brighton Music Hall to the Big House (HOB), goes to show that the Boston peeps know a good tune when they hear it.

Of Monsters and Men are playing the Boston HOB on 4/07/12 and tickets are still available. This show is NOT to be missed, get tix here: BUY OF M&MTIX

If you like this song I strongly suggest you check out this live version of them playing it in a living room, it'll reassure that you need to see them live when they come around, here's that link: Watch living-room version

Note: I love Somerville, so please no hate mail. Somerville's cool especially the fire-fighters, so if your a hot chick go down to Engine 9 and ask  a bald headed guy for a date, he needs one bad.

Ponchos

I heard this song on Hype Radio and had to share it- Little did I know this is our own local talent, Boston-based PONCHOS (James Krivchenia). He drops a sick new track "Chatter" that is set to come out this Tuesday 2/21/12. Can't wait to see it live.
