Anarbor

http://www.anarbor.net/

So Anarbor has been on my iPod for awhile, and I would be lying if I said I just found them.

However, I still love them immensely and often wonder why I don't hear people talking about them or sight them more often.

What I had loved about Anarbor when I first heard their self-released EP Hearing Colours, Seeing Sounds was that it wasn't perfect. There were moments that were so raw that I actually felt as if the band was right there in the room with me. I also couldn't help but love their lyrics, which I thought were very mature and rather beautiful coming from such a young band at the time.

Ex-"I am god and the devil himself kisses my feet." "My bed gets sick of your body like the moon gets sick of the stars." and "I wanna feel the beat of your selfish heart as our bodies melt into one in the dark."

Since discovering them, this band has been signed to Hopeless Records and released two EPs and one full length. And MOST recently, they released The Mixtape which is them covering songs.

Basically, this band has done a lot of work, and has been near and dear to my heart, so this is more of a personal post I guess.

Go love em.

Really.

My Girl Friday

http://www.mygirlfridayband.com/


This next band is a self proclaimed Funk/Pop/Rock group from Phoenix. Their music is the type of music I would pop in while going on a summer day drive with friends, or while I’m getting ready in the morning and I’m dancing around in my underwear. They make incredibly fun music, and we all know that that’s never a bad thing. They just released a new single, "American Kids" on iTunes, and you can check it out below. It's an ode to youth and I find it quite refreshing. (I also love the lyrics "Here's to the friends who got it figured out, at least the pretend. Here's to the rest of us singin' 'What's my age again?'") Also, their website allows you to listen to their song "April Jean". Give em a listen. They'll brighten up your day.
