Just get it right, that’s all I ask…

It was brought to my attention a couple days ago that I listen to mostly dance and electronic music. It was not a fact that I would deny, nor wasn’t aware of, but I have my rock bands too, I swear. Of course if you look back through my music roundups, the evidence there would betray this fact. At first I thought I would do an all rock-John-likes roundup, but decided it against it ultimately. Rather, in this post (a full August roundup will be popping up soon) I’m going to highlight a band that not enough people listen too.

It’s no secret that I am overwhelmingly tired of guitars. I don’t know what it is about them, but something about them bores me to no end. I feel like we’ve drained all the sound we can out of them or perhaps people’s style of playing has become completely monotonous. Whatever it is, I’m pretty sure that guitars and uninteresting drumming have led to my disenchantment with rock music. Of course, there are still a handful of bands that break through my music-asshole attitude to really wow me. Grizzly Bear, for example, totally blows me away by clearly operating in their own little universe. I talk to a lot of people who like them though, and I’m not about to reaffirm peoples preexisting tastes. Nope, I wanna talk about a group who I hardly ever hear my friends talk about: Parts & Labor. More talking, way more rockin’ after the jump!
