When I first got an e-mail with this dude starting at me through my monitor I chuckled a bit. I mean, seriously - who does he think he is? I recognized him from that lame show my wife watches, One Tree Hill, and thought that'd be the end of it.
Of course, I received another e-mail with just an album cover and ended up giving it a listen....low and behold, this is why you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Or, rather an album by it's cover. Umm...I guess an album by it's cover-boy? That's it. That's the ticket!
Anywho, what I'm getting around too hear is Wakey!Wakey! - a nice little indie-pop(ish) band that should help brighten up a case of the Mondays (or Tuesdays in this case, since some of us had a late start to the week due to the Holiday). They just released their second album, and the lead off single "Twenty-Two" is pretty damn catchy.
All you kids who like your Vampire Weekend and your Grizzly Bear (and other animal named bands) will dig what you hear. Take a listen, smile with those "uh-oh, oh oh"s. You'll love it.
The full album is streaming over at AOL.
