Fitz and the Tantrums!

Alright, so it's been a long time since I have posted anything here; so my come back had to be a pretty epic song! Therefore, I HAD to pick FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS! This band is all about beat! They are an upbeat band with such an incredible sound!
Fitz and The Tantrums were founded by Michael Fitzpatrick in 2008. Michael Fitzpatrick contacted one of his college buddies who played the saxophone in 2008 wanting to put together a band! His buddy, James King, recommended the band members: singer Noelle Scaggs and drummer John Wicks. In turn, Wicks brought on bassist, Joseph Karnes, and keyboardist, Jeremy Ruzumna.
According to Fitzpatrick, the band immediately clicked. He has said, "It was literally like five phone calls, one rehearsal, and we could have played a show that night."
Having purchased an old Conn electronic organ, he was inspired to write the song "Breakin' the Chains of Love" that same night! Their debut album Pikin' Up the Pieces released in August of 2010, has received critical acclaim and reached Number 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart!
How awesome is that?! This band legitimately loves each other like family and they are still creating awesome music! So, here it is; One Awesome song and band for one AWESOME comeback!
