You're going to need a breather after this post

RIYL: Kings of Leon, Mumford and Sons, Lifehouse

So, I mentioned NEEDTOBREATHE in class this week, as I discovered them at ACL this weekend and fell in love. At ACL, they were very folk-y and relaced, much in the typical ACL theme, but now that I have come home and looked up some of there stuff, they have some songs that are much more heavier rock than those I heard at ACL, and I'm really into this variety.


Here is some of their slower stuff, to show their mellow side:

This one is called "Something Beautiful" and is probably their most popular song, and in my top 3 favorites




This is "The Outsiders". Oh yes, it's banjo time



"White Fences", also a favorite.



So, they're kind of seeming like a soft country/ rock band, right?

Check out this transition..

This is called "Oohs and Ahhs"




Slow at first, but then it gets real passionate and heavier. The music has transitioned from a more acoustic-y type to more of the electric-guitar side, and I am digging it.

"Maybe They're Onto Us"




This one isn't as heavy music, but its definitely not as upbeat and folkly as the others. They kind of remind me of a less angsty Fall Out Boy in these two songs.

Anyways, I fell in love with NEEDTOBREATHE this weekend, and will be jamming to htem for a while.
