Barcelona

SO. Barcelona, not the city, the wicked awesome band. Now, I'm sure Barcelona is awesome, never being there... when I went to Spain we went to Madrid for some random reason instead of Barcelona. Anyway that's beside the point. This band... is... AMAZING! They were one of my many random downloads a little while ago and I put one of their songs on a playlist and one morning ended up waking up to the song and BAM. The love began.
The band hails from Seattle, Washington (think they're fans of Starbucks? Or get asked that a lot?) There are three guys, as you could have gathered from the picture, in the band and they ooze awesome piano rock. I may be in love with them because of the piano, but seriously who can resist some piano?! It just brings everything together and adds class right?
So, the people in the band. The lead singer, Brian Fennel, is the pianist, therefore my love in the band. He has a voice of an angel, or that could be the piano talking... nevertheless he does have a good voice. The guitarist is Chris Bristol who also does some vocals and the drums are played by Rhett Stonelake (Lesley, think he could be some distant cousin, and you family built a bridge over the lake so changed your name?!). Not that it matters but I kind of like the name Rhett... it's interesting, therefore like this guy!

NOW, their album is called Absolutes. They released it themselves, THEN re-recorded it when they were signed to Universal Midtown. When they re-recorded it they added some tracks, BUT in my opinion some of the re-recorded songs are better on the original album, but that's me.
Songs to download you ask? Or the top 5 songs in my opinion?
Let me tell you!

It's About Time

Lesser Things

Response... so, THIS is the song that sucked me into the band. Not only are the lyrics oh so captivating, and Fennell's voice just sucks you in but there is my newest obsession in music. Song breaks, or at least I believe that is what they're called. But oh so good.

It's About Time... again amazing lyrics and they have a video for this song, which adds to it's appeal when you're searching for it sometimes, the video is a little weird... but hey whatever floats your boat. This song is kind of upbeat about a depressing thing in lurve, not being yourself. and it's oh so catchy.

Colors... it urks me to spell it the American way... ewww... BUT another cute song, this is the one that sounds almost live on the re-recorded one... the original is much better.

Please Don't Go... this song is a really really slow love song. Best lyric in it is, "get these left handed lovers out of your way..." holy gives me the chills everytime--not just because I'm left handed either.

Lesser Things... it's a mix type song some of it starts out slower and builds. And again the original recording, in my opinion is way better.. but both are good. And of course, lyrics my favourite part of the song are clever... though these ones are more direct than the other lyrics, no masking meanings through metaphors here.

So go download... seriously.
