The Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes Down Lyrics

The Arctic Monkeys are going to be a break out band for 2006, count on it. Formed at Barnsley College in 2002, this Sheffield, England import took the UK charts by storm. Their first single, “I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor” did remarkably well and contributed to their breaking the record for largest number of first day sales for their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. Their second single was this track, and it is totally addictive. Don’t be fooled by it’s initially slow beginning. Once it kicks in, it kicks in hard for the rest of the extremely catchy track. Most critics will compare them to the Libertines, which I guess I can see, but then again, I’m not a big Libertines fan, so the idea of comparing them to a band I dislike is hard to justify. They’ll be touring the states in the spring, including a stop at the end of March in Boston (Whoo!), so definitely check them out.

I’m so sorry it is taking me forever to put these up. This weekend, I’m going to throw up a ton. I’ve got four or five bands I’ve got lined up, and school and moving into a new place has been kicking my backside.

We Are Scientists - The Great Escape Lyrics

This band has been in my playlist constantly over the last couple of days. They are absolutely addictive, especially this song. A New York residing band that originally formed in the bars of California in 2001, We Are Scientists have finally released a full length album that, if there’s any justice, will bring them the attention and acclaim they deserve. They’re this excellent mix of alot of the sounds that are regaining popularity nowadays. They have the riffs to rival Franz Ferdinand (and sometimes, I swear, I hear some Stroke-ish stuff) with a singer whose voice would have seemed perfect for a band in the new wavey Devo-ccentric sect of the 80’s. I definitely remember seeing this band on the 930 website and wondering what the buzz was about, and now I totally get it. They are set to be one of the break out bands of 2006. They’re touring Europe until at least the Spring, but those of you on the West Coast will have the pleasure of catching them at some point in April, and I definitely recommend it.
