Here's a list of some of my favorite bands:
1. Mae
Sweet piano in this group. If you've ever heard Something Corporate and liked them, than you'll definitely like Mae. They sound a lot alike. Amazing musical talent.
2. Waterdeep
I heard a song by Waterdeep a while ago and fell in love with it, but I didn't know what their band name was. Check out their song Everyone's Beautiful. The lyrics in it are amazingly well written.
3. The Used
Not a big fan of their new album but their old untitled one is sweet. Poetic Tragedy and Taste of Ink are really good songs. You should check them out.
4. Kings of Leon
Not gunna lie, half the time I have no idea what they're talking about, but they have one of the most unique sounds I think I've heard in a band.
5. Matthew Good Band
Another artist where sometimes I can't tell what he's talking about. I've heard he's a real jackass in real life too. But other than that I love some of his lyrics, and I think he experiments with different sounds and ideas really well. A good band to listen to if you're in a mood to think about life.
