When I’m around you
I try to keep my distance
‘Cause what I want with you
Is none of your business
Bully rocks and Alicia Bognanno reminds me quite a bit of Carrie Akre, who is one of my favorite rock vocalists of all time. Their new album, Losing, comes out later this month and if "Kills to Be Resistant" is any indication, it's going to be a classic.

Metaphors made up of all the kids in candy stores
Look right at her and know they've fallen short
I want to smile, but I don't have the mind
Merry-go-rounding the corners of the pixie oaks
Upon a Ferris wheel with missing bolts
I want to try, but I don't have the spine
We've had Mutemath on TMIS a few times already, but they're one of my favorites and they're playing just down the street from me today, so, why not? Let's roll them out again. Their newest album, Play Dead, was released earlier this month and it's terrific. And not as polished as I originally thought it would be. :)
RIYL: Future or Forestry, Colony House, Minus The Bear, Midlake
Not a soul up ahead and nothing behind
There's a desert in my blood and a storm in your eyes
Am I the king of nothing at all?
And you're the queen of nothing at all
But I remember the fight and I forget the pain
I got my hand in your pocket and my key in your chain
Am I the king of nothing at all?
And you're the queen of nothing at all
Oh, through the wilderness
You and I will walk into the emptiness
Oh, and my heart is a mess
Is it the only defense against the wilderness?
"All we have is each other, one foot in front of the other." Is this a love song or a fatalistic one? Well, it's definitely a WTM song - whatever the lyrics the mood is: Slightly 80s, Pumped & Ready to Dance. Someone asked me just the other day if I thought this band was going to fade into oblivion after the mega success of "Shut Up and Dance" which was a sad suggestion to me, as that's nowhere near my favorite song of theirs. So, I'm happy they have a new single and it's already doing well on the indie charts. The world needs more of this music - supplying the feeling of being happy in the moment & having each other's back.
RIYL: Finish Ticket, Neon Trees, COIN, Neon Indian, Colony House
