A few weeks ago I created a thread dedicated to alternative/rock bands and artists who could jump from the good ship rock to a more poppy, accessible sound and it didn't sound forced, jarring or lame. I didn't mention this band in that thread when I really should have. Well, it's their time to shine now.

So there are two tracks today to showcase that versatile gift; the first is a Pixies inspired rock track, all weird sounding guitar wails and Matthew Shultz's trademark yelp. The second is pure pop, and one of my favourite songs at the moment.

The band? Cage the Elephant.

The songs? Rock first, Aberdeen. Fun fact; There's a video on Youtube that features Dave Grohl. That guy just gets everywhere, doesn't he?

And time for pop (weirdly, not a single, so no real video) - with Right Before My Eyes. Man. Dat chorus.

That pretty much re-enacted my entire social life in a mere 3 minutes. Am I the only one who mentally called that monster Gamerizard? Great band.

I always route for the monsters in those movies, and this time I actually have an excuse. Poor Gamerizard.

Ben: This most recent "shout" is confusing the hell out of me. Is the user name "lol" with a space, and then the first colon signifies the comment is "): lol w/emoticon?" OR is the user name "lol

" and the comment is just "lol w/emoticon?" I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! May 9, 2013 20:19:25 GMT 2
