Band to Watch: The Naked And Famous

For the past few months, I've been hooked on a fresh, new band from the beautiful island of New Zealand. After a first listen, The Naked And Famous will certainly draw the immediate comparison to Passion Pit and Yeasayer. It remains to be seen if that will be a handicap or will propel their music as they venture further away from their island surroundings. Even though the only song available in the States is "Youngblood," it will challenge the limits of my patience until the full length is released. The Young And Famous are certainly a group to be watchful of in the months to come. I love discovering emerging bands and I am looking forward to following this band as they navigate the waters of the indie music scene.

Mona - Listen To Your Love

I found this group on NME's top 100 new bands of 2010. If the Kings of Leon were still good, they would sound a lot like Mona. This song is dynamite!
