I'm more or less sure that the last time my Dad showed me a band that I actually liked was probably when I learned about the Eagles when I was in the 6th grade (He reads this blog, so...sorry Dad, also this isn't to say that: Broken Bells=Eagles, just that I appreciate the recommendation from my Dad).
However after seven long years, the wait is finally over, I have now listned to the Broken Bells and they are really great. After a little bit of research I found out one of the many reasons I like them so much. First off they are produced by Danger Mouse (who is responsible for The Grey Album-try listening to "December 4th", its a total trip).
Another reason I must like them so much is the fact that they are the side project of James Mercer, frontman of the Shins (and Garden State, just kidding, not really though). The song is called "October" and really comes off with that light and airy sound that Mercer is known for with the Shins. But it also has a much more abrasive (in a good way) guitar part that I'm just not used to with the Shins.
