the playlist track 24: Fever by The Black Keys

Soooo I have been a HUGE fan of The Black Keys since their most recent album came out in 2010, and I even got to see them live last summer (best damn live performance I've seen in a while too!). It's been four-ish years since their last album "Brothers" so I've been pining for some new jams from them.

Well, they dropped a single from their upcoming album Turn Blue (which is out May 13th) a few days ago AND IT IS JUST PERFECT.

I was a little worried that they would sound different since it's been a while, but the song "Fever" has that classic Black Keys sound with a fabulous rocking guitar rhythm and an energetic drum beat (as per usual with these god-like musicians). I will for sure be getting their new album ASAP!

Stay tuned for more!

the playlist track 03: O' Be Joyful by Shovels and Rope

Alrighty, so the first time I heard a recording of this group was through a late night study cram with Pandora and coffee. I didn't really know their music well until just recently when I saw them perform live. The energy and talent they put out on stage is amazing and if they roll into town near you, I highly recommend getting a ticket! This song I love specifically because of the lyrics and the rocking guitar throughout. The vocals are amazing as well, and this also happens to be my favourite song that they performed live.

Stay tuned for more!
