New Music Revival

I used to spend lots of time reading reviews and downloading music and I found really great bands back when ruckus.com was around. That website has been long gone for a while now and so has my interest and passion for finding new sounds. Fortunately, an old friend of mine recently got a really great job as an editor at inyourspeakers.com. I now check this website frequently and find new and interesting music all the time. Thanks to inyourspeakers.com I have recently come across the following albums that I probably wouldn't have known about otherwise.

Sea of Cowards by The Dead Weather -- I think that their first album was better, but this is a really good album.

Brother by the Black Keys -- sometimes this is exactly what I'm in the mood for. I've known about this band for a while now, but this was the first time that I really gave them an honest chance and I'm glad I did.

Mean Everything to Nothing by Manchester Orchestra -- This is probably the best new band that I've found. I knew that I would like this band after listening to the first 5 seconds of their first song that came up on youtube.

Maniac Meat by Tobacco -- This is another band that I hadn't heard of before, and it is very different than what I normally listen to, but sometimes I really like listening to electronic stuff. They said that Beck was involved with this album.

Aside from the albums listed, I've been listening to the Band of Skulls, the XX (still I know, I can't get enough, I was watching their music videos today and they are fantastic!), Silversun Pickups, and some Old Death Cab for Cutie, and the Polyphonic Spree. Right now I'm listening to Manchester Orchestra and it makes me smile like how sunshine all around makes me smile. I feel like starting a revolution! I wish I had a full band right now!
