If looks could kill

If you know me in the slightest you'll know that I've been obsessed with British music since as long as I can remember, well really just the UK in general. So it won't come as a surprise to know that I knew about a lot of British pop and punk and indie before it really hit the US. My friend Paige can back me up that I really did know about them first before they even got signed in the UK. So what up now?

Anyways this band isn't quite as obscure. In fact it's name is Camera Obscura. Now this is kind of cool because the object camera obscura takes in an image and projects it onto a screen, which was initially what photography was until what has led to user friendly cameras. This band is from Glasgow, Scotland.

Some good songs.

If Looks Could Kill

French Navy

Tears for Affairs

On a different note, this band is from Berkeley, California. Their name is the Morning Benders and they blow my mind. I don't know much about them except that I like them and they've played on tours with some of my favorite bands. Ra Ra Riot, We Are Scientists, White Rabbits... the list goes on. They have two albums out and I've mostly just heard songs from their recent album, Big Echo, but all the songs are really good.

Some good songs

Hand Me Downs

Cold War

Excuses

This next band is honestly awesome, Broken Bells. It has to be with producer Danger Mouse and James Mercer, the lead singer and guitarist from band the Shins. The two decided to work together after Mercer collaborated with Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse. Broken Bells only has one album, self titled Broken Bells.
