Parachute is a band you’ll definitely be hearing more about in the coming months. With a Maroon 5 resemblance and absolutely stunning melodies, this pop band is going places. Parachute originally formed while together at college and these students just graduated in 2008. I’m not exactly sure what they studied at school, but I’m sure they took “yeah we’re cool college guys in a band and we’re better than your friend’s band 101.” read more
Cage The Elephant is new to me and it looks like I’m about a year behind on this self-titled release. This American rock band from the pits of Bowling Green, Kentucky (to be said with a Southern draw) are a fresh new sound that I’m pretty much stoked on right now. With a taste of Beck, a pinch of the Beastie Boys, and a classic rock vibe, Cage The Elephant is a great mix and nice addition to any music collection. Though I could do without the semi-occasional swearing, I’m seriously into these Kentucky kids.
A song you’ve got to listen to immediately is “Ain’t No Rest For the Wicked“. Lyrically it’s fantastic and you’ll be sure to see that Beastie Boys reference I made (which you’re still confused about) really come alive. And let’s be honest with each other, with a band name like Cage The Elephant, you know you’re at least a little curious.

It’s more than a year away from release, but I still can’t help but get excited about returning to the classic toy chest that kick-started Pixar’s great adventures. With the release of this summer’s Up, Disney also released a teaser for Toy Story 3. All the favorite characters make a cameo. Check it out!
