Riding the wave into 2011

Hello blogosphere, I've missed you... it's been a while since I last posted. This year has started off a bit crazy, and I've been a little unmotivated to write anything. Maybe because I haven't been inspired or found any good new music worth writing about. Well, I finally found something pretty great.

For those who know me, I am constantly listening to xmu and each day for about 2 hours they have a different "blog radio" DJ. These bloggers play whatever they want to, and I usually find myself making notes of "music to download". I'd certainly like to take created for a lot of the new bands I write about, but mostly I hear them first from blog radio.

Anyways, the other day one of the bloggers played this song called "Knock Out" by Air Waves. For a few days I couldn't get this song out of my head. I kept going to iTunes and would think about DLing the whole album, but didn't want to waste $9.99 on an album with only 1 good song. Finally, I went for it. And let me tell you, completely worth it. I can't really describe the sound of the band nor try to compare them to another band. All I can say is I love their sound... incredible lead singer voice, heavy bass, and flirty guitar sound. The lead singer's voice is a mix between Beach House and Lower Dens... deeper female voice, unique and great. Apparently they might be located in Austin?!? Check em out below:

Of course, they played a show last night and I missed it. BUT they will probably be back for SXSW, which will be better because I can see them doing a set alone. I can't get enough of them, their album is great and I highly recommend getting it.

That's all I got for now. There are a few other bands I'm excited about, but Air Waves tops my list. Great way to start the year.

Until next time-
KSpot out!
