Dawes – The Daylights

31 Mar

The weather is somewhere between post-apocalyptic and next natural disaster story today. I have since deemed it my, “spring cleaning” day… which I have since turned into my watch 30 Rock and listen to good music while picking up one thing every 45 mins or so… oops.

Today’s finds give us a good mix of old (meaning not really old at all) and new to my world. The first is Dawes and upon hearing them I felt the need to instantly compare them to Seryn (a band I posted about a few months ago… SO GOOD.) they have the same kind of rustic vibe. Dawes takes a hold of that bold all-in singing style that pulls you in… and without ever intending to, you catch yourself wishing you instantly knew the words so that you could see along. Yums.

(Also… it should be noted that they are all sexy as hell.)

You might know these next guys simply because some jackass at the water cooler was cool for the day and mass emailed you this video. The guys behind it are known as The Daylights and they are scrumptious. Sure, it doesn’t HURT that they possibly made the modern day equivalent of a Romeo & Juliet porch proposal… adorbs. Listen to the rest of the album so that they aren’t lost in the curse of a viral video for eternity…
