Hollerado [2009] Record in a Bag

sound: Indie Rock/Poolhall
myspace

Think a raspier Young the Giant [formerly the Jakes, try to keep up] a less whiny Hot Hot Heat or Tapes N' Tapes with a little less Interpol feel. To much name dropping, then let me tell you some cool stuff about this band. People told these bros it would never happen for them, so they decided to start their own label, name it Royal Mountain Records and with a little help from A&C.ca Record in a Bag was released for a second time like 5 days ago on vinyl.  SO TAKE THAT THE MAN, DIY lives!!!!! Of course, when you get it on vinyl it comes in a sweet black tote bag. Gonna pick one up this morning, also they have the coolest fucking website ever, its really art-sie and fun,  you've got to check it out. Try these guys on for size for sure.
BUY Record in a Bag, literally in a Bag.

sounds like: Young the Giant, Hot Hot Heat, Tapes N' Tapes

Super sweet band the Jakes have changed their name to Young the Giant and signed with Road Runner records, why they choose this label [home of Nickelback] i will never know. When asked why the name change, said the band:

"A name is a name, and only serves to unite individuals under a common feeling of togetherness."

Personally i dont care in the least as long as they keep putting out great albums like Shake My Hand. And judging by this video teaser of their new material that is their plan.
