I'm a little embarrassed for listing these guys here, as their music is polished, pop-oriented "nu metal." Given that I am not a frat dude, I probably shouldn't like them. But... it's just fun! And I liked listening to it! What can I do?
A contemporary band with an amazing blues/classic rock sound. Ridiculously good.
Max Tannone This dude's a DJ who I became aware of via Twitter. He mixed The Beastie Boys' Check Your Head with itself to create Doublecheck Your Head, and mixed Jay-Z with Radiohead to create Jaydiohead. It's fantastic, fantastic stuff. Click through for free downloads of the full albums.
I've been talking about these guys a lot, on this site and on my Twitter, and they've kind of exploded on the radio and the internet, so no introduction should be necessary. They're a supergroup that's actually super. Their debut release is sexy, smart, biting, rocking, and an instant classic.
I have no idea how to describe this band. It's a collective of artists with horns and dance beats who do something described as "trip-rock." The point is, it's ridiculously catchy and fun.
