Better late than never, here are my favorite tracks this month!
January 2008 Hitz List – Check out the iTunes iMix.
Thanks to KROQ, I’ve discovered a pretty cool sounding band named Paramore. They have a nice punk-pop style sound, that I’m really into right now.
I’ve actually been listening to the Editors for awhile now, but I just didn’t get around to putting them on the list last month. They’re an indie band with an upbeat guitar track, and kind of an opposite vocal sound. I like them!
Young Folks was passed on to me by a friend. This Swedish song has a very pop-y sound, and a very funky music video to go along with it. Check out the video after the break.
Oh my gosh, I love the song Dashboard from Modest Mouse. I’ve been listening to this song for months and still haven’t gotten sick of it. Catchy lyrics and a great sound make for a hit!
Rob Dickinson has a much softer, melodic kind of sound, I like his one song, My Name is Love, but I’m not a big fan of any of his other stuff… too slow for me.
I found the last band on this list, Eisley, from the BUTR podcast (probably the best podcast on the ‘net). Anyway, they have a unique sound, something between pop and indie. Their song, Invasion, has a really nice chorus that just gets stuck in my head… even when I have no idea what they’re saying.
