TV on the Radio


Indie Rocks most unique group could quite possibly TV on the Radio. You could almost label their genre as art rock, but this still doesn't even come close to describing the sounds that these guys make. This group mixes so many styles that shouldn't even belong together. Fusing rock with doowop with African tribal music couldn't possibly seem like a good idea but these guys pull it off seamlessly.
TVOTR started their career in the rough music city of Brooklyn, Ny. Then their career took off when they were signed to Interscope Records who has signed some of my favorite artists like the Hives, Brand New, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the Queens of the Stone Age. With this huge label behid them, TVOTR was bound to take off.
Their newest album "Return to Cookie Mountain" was released early 2007 with an overwhelming amount of publicity. This album was rated as one of the top 50 albums of the year by many music magazines all across the world. This album has a ton of hits and some of my favorite songs of all time. The song "Providence" opens with an entrancing melody that could actually get stuck in your head for the rest of your life. The song "Wolf Like Me" has a solid guitar rift that keeps you entertained for the entirety of the almost six minute song.
I Highly recommend TV On the Radio. So go check them out.
Now!
