Tuesday's Tune - January 17th, 2011

As mentioned in recent posts, I discovered a new band that I instantly fell in love with! There's something about finding new music, I get this rush of excitement, and feel the need to learn and discover everything this band or artist has to offer! I've come to realize as I get older, that everyone's taste and view on music is different.  I've realized for myself, it's a true passion and I couldn't live without it!

My newfound love is an alternative rock band from Irvine California, called Young The Giant. The band currently consists of 5 members, Sameer Gadhia (lead vocals & percussion), Jacob Tilley (guitar), Eric Cannata (guitar, vocals), Payam Doostzadeh (bass guitar), and François Comtois (drums, percussion, and Vocals). They released their debut album digitally on October 26, 2010, and then physically on January 25th, 2011. They became famous from their debut song "My Body", which is what lead me to discover them! While "My Body" is more rock and upbeat, I found the rest of the album to be more tame and mellow (which I love).

I decided to buy the "Special Edition album", which included Bonus songs. So glad I did, because today's tune is a bonus track!  I've included the studio recorded version, but also their video in "Open Session" (they did a bunch of videos literally out in the open and they're genius.) So much talent!

So without further ado, here is "Typhoon", by Young the Giant.  Enjoy!
