The Weakenders (May 20, 2012)

There are so many different styles and genres of music that sometimes we forget to keep it simple and talk about good old fashioned "rock bands." This week's featured artist, The Weakenders (https://www.facebook.com/TheWeakenders), are a rock band. Not hard rock, not alternative rock - just a really good band that plays music with guitars, drums and really good vocals and lyrics.  They sound totally modern and fresh but clearly have their roots grounded in the great bands of the 70s.  Be sure to check out their song "I Get Down" (Free download: http://theweakenders.bandcamp.com/album/i-get-down-b-w-hazy-eyes-single) and "The Party's Over" from the Everything and Nothing EP as a few examples of their sound.

Have a great week and enjoy the music!
