Cage the Elephant "Cage the Elephant"

Let me just say, if you live in Boston and don't listen to WFNX then we probably don't have similar tastes. That being said, I heard this band on FNX last night and immediately needed to hear more. The album starts off with a chugging blues rock riff but with a distinct funk flair to it. Almost if you mashed up the Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys. Actually, I think that's the perfect comparison. Dirty melodies with offbeat vocals.

Must hear: Back Against The Wall
