Bleachers

Since I just recently shared with you all my love for Fun., I figured I'd stay within the Fun. family and introduce you to Bleachers, a band started by Fun.'s guitarist Jack Antonoff. Now just because this Fun. guitarist is the lead man of Bleachers, don't expect them to sound anything like alike. Bleacher's has their own distinct style that completely different yet just as good as Fun. (well almost as good...I'm still a little biased). Antonoff is simply showing us all just how talented he is by now being the lead singer of his own band and creating some great songs of his own. The album Strange Desires is full of catchy, 80's inspired songs, so today I'm going to share with you two of my favorites from the album. The first is the very popular single I Wanna Get Better and the second is Rollercoaster. Both of these songs are very unique, upbeat, and catchy tunes. They give off an old school vibe which is totally different from the usual pop songs you hear on a daily basis. So, give them a listen and if you don't end up liking them, you can always go back to Fun. and still get a fix of Jack Antonoff.

A bunch of FUN.

Today I'm going to share with you the first, but definitely not the only, song that I love from the band FUN. It's pretty surprising I haven't already posted about them, but I promise you, this won't be my only blog about this fantastic band because I really love them a lot. If you aren't very familiar with them, they sing We Are Young, which I'm sure most of you have heard on radio at some point or another. For my first Fun. post, I decided to share with you one of their very underrated and wonderfully created song, The Gambler. The Gambler is a very pretty, simple song as it features just the piano and Nate Ruess's voice (which is really beautiful). I've listened to it so many times (including hearing it twice live in concert which believe it or not sounded even more beautiful) that I literally know every single word to this song and have no shame singing it at the top of my lungs. So check it out and get use to hearing about Fun. because this will not be the only time I write about them; I have many more songs of theirs to share! Have 'Fun.' listening. (:
