Alt-J Cover

Ellie Goulding is an artist everyone in our day and age knows. She did a cover of an awesome indie band called Alt-J. This song is Tessellate. IT'S AWESOME!!! Since everyone knows Ellie, I decided to share her version and then the history of Alt-J; and also their original version of this so you can pick which you prefer :)
Alt-J was formed when Gwil Sainsbury (keyboards), Joe Newman (guitar/vocals), Gus Unger-Hamilton (guitarist/bassist) and Thom Green (drums) met at Leeds University in 2007.
Unger-Hamilton studied English Literature, the other three Fine Art. Newman showed Sainsbury a handful of his own songs and, the pair began recording in their halls rooms with Sainsbury acting as producer on GarageBand.The quartet spent two years rehearsing before signing a deal with Infectious Records in 2011.
The name "Alt-J" is an allusion to the Greek uppercase letter delta which can be typed on Apple Mac OS X by the key sequence alt + J. "Alt-J" were formerly known as both 'Daljit Dhaliwal' and 'Films'

Goons

Alrighty, this song is way fantastic! I know I say that about every song I've shared... but seriously, this song really is! Today's band is Mona. This band originated in Ohio and Kentucky and now reside in Tennessee. Formed in 2007, they went through various line-up changes within it's first few years. At the end of 2010 they had been longlisted for BBC's Sound of 2011 poll, and then made the longlist of MTV Award's Brand New for 2011! They started the hits with songs like "Teenagers", "Shooting the Moon", "Lines in the Sand", and "Listen to Your Love". And then here in 2013 came this song! This is "Goons (Baby, I Need it All)". Seriously enjoy this song guys it's awesome!

Today, I am sharing a band that I have already shared but a different song. Welcome back Thao and the Get Down Stay Down! This song is called "Holy Roller"! I picked it because the music video is freaking fantastic! I don't have much of a story or background for them because I already shared them Here! They are so fantastic and I cannot get enough of them! Seriously love and enjoy this song and music video!

CHVRCHES

Alright so I'm spoiling you guys with this song! It's pretty bomb! This band is CHVRCHES (pronounced churches). They are a Scottish electro-pop band! The band consists of 3 people: Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, and Martin Doherty. Originally the 3 were all in 3 separate bands. Lauren got a law degree followed by a masters in journalism. Iain was in a band as well as writing music in film and TV. Iain asked Lauren to join him with his friend Martin in writing a demo. After they wrote that they decided to start their own band called obviously, CHVRCHES. They spelled it with the Roman "v" so that it would not be mistaken for churches when searched on the internet! They came 5th on BBC's Sound of 2013 list of most promising new music talent! How cool is that?! Well guys this song is called "The Mother We Share". Enjoy this song because it's awesome!
