NEON TREES have titled another jam ANIMAL

♫ Neon Trees – Animal

Seriously guys, can we title our jams something other than “Animal”? This is like the 5th TBE jam with that name (or it’s plural). Anyway, Neon Trees are from Provo, Utah and sound like The Killers younger, goofier, and less angsty little brother. I realize that this is a sugary sweet radio jam but I can’t help but love it and have been singing along to with those “Oh Oh”s since my first listen. Let me save you a potentially enthusiasm-altering experience and warn you against watching either versions of the music video. Neon Trees has an awesome chick drummer and engage in various silliness in the name of rocking our asses but that lead singer and his unfortunate haircut get a bit much seeing as he over-does his front-man shtick a bit. Anyway, enough negativity. This is my jam and I stand by it, tedious lead singer or not. Their debut LP Habits comes out next week and I have a feeling that we will all be hearing more from these guys and gal.

Bury your face in MySpace

NOTE: One of my favorite bands that hasn’t done much lately, Lola Ray, have Neon Trees’ in their top friends on MySpace, and vice-versa. Anyone know of a formal connection? That’s a tour I’d get stoked for. Lola Ray kill it live.

    You probably should listen to the other songs of theirs and you would get a shock to the brain that they don't sound like the killers and have a different sound and lyrical writing.

    wow, not sure if I am ready for a shock to the brain although I could handle more great jams. Just so I am clear, any comparison to The Killer is a compliment. I'm already a fan of Neon Trees!

    They're a pretty legit band live. Check out the acoustic video of this song: http://theoccidentalsaloon.com/post/453593594/n…
