diskovery: i love monsters

have i taken the chance to blog about i love monsters yet? with so much music out there it's really hard to find something that catches my attention but these boys have done it. add to that, that their music is available for free on their website and i'm sold. side note: i love that these fellas love to smile. i think a lot of bands take their image too seriously so it's awesome to see a band having so much fun together /side note. their sound really takes me back to the 2004 killers/strokes era before i got hooked on the more folky side of independent music. as always, don't take my word for it, check their website out and have a listen for yourself. here are my recommendations ladies and gentlemen:

 

from the rescue EP: track 3: seen a ghost

from spine/stop pretending/satellites: track 1: spine
