3 Bands You Should Listen To Immediately
The Indie Sound

Due to the lovely services of companies like YouTube, Spotify, Pandora, iTunes, and more, we are supplied with an overabundance of music — more than we could ever hope to listen to. Sadly, not all of it is good. However, if you're sick of some of the overplayed, superficial music crowding our airwaves and ears, here are three new bands you can play happily on repeat.

1. Bombadil

Bombadil released its first album, "A Buzz, A Buzz" in 2008 and its latest album in December 2015, entitled "Still Bombadil Issue #1: Score for Cell Phone, Rubber Band & Wine Glass." The group's sound, featuring minimalistic, soft rhythms created by piano, ukulele, keyboards, and guitar complements well the mellow yet fun vocals and lyrics. Bombadil's sound is essentially folk-pop, inspired and influenced by Bolivian music, and perfect for easy listening. If you're looking for some fresh music to catch your eclectic ear, this is it!

2. Dawes

You might have heard Dawes's most popular "Things Happen" from their latest release, "All Your Favorite Bands," in 2015. With a catchy indie-rock, "Americana Soul" sound, familiar to that of The Avett Brothers and The Head and the Heart, once you start shuffling through these albums, you'll want to turn up the volume on the stylish drum rhythms and beautiful vocal harmonies. (Bonus: Dawes is coming to both Driftwood and Houston in April!)

3. The 1975

Chances are you'd recognize The 1975 from their hit single "Chocolate" a few years back, but you should definitely check out their newest release from just last month, entitled "I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it." If you like fun, dance-worthy pop-rock tracks; or soft, soulful ballads — or British guys — you'd like The 1975, especially their latest album. Give a listen to their current most popular song "The Sound" for a day-starting energy booster or "She Lays Down" for some lovely chill ambiance.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
