Little Dragon

 This week artist is band that I feel put a unique spin of the world of electric pop and they go by the name of Little Dragon. Little Dragon is a Swedish electric pop band that came together in 1996. The band consist of "Yukmi Nagano" (vocals, percussion) and her close high school friends "Erik Bodin" (drums)," Fredrik Källgren Wallin" (bass) and "Håkan Wirenstrand" (keyboards). The band got it's name from The band's name was inspired by the "Little Dragon" nickname Nagano earned due to the "fuming tantrums she used to throw while recording in the studio. The band released their first album in 2006 and in 2007 they signed with a British indie label call "Peacefrog Records. They released their album "Little Dragon" in 2009 the released "Machine Dreams" and their current album "Ritual Union". In my opinion their music is fun and happy and makes you want to dance. So take a listen to the song "Sunshine" I got my attention and tell me what you think.

Imagine Dragons

This weeks artist is a indie rock group who put their unique spin on the genre they call themselves Imagine Dragon. Imagine Dragon is a four member band from Las Vegas, Nevada. They formed their band in 2008 and their name is a anagram that only the members know what it means.  After winning severl battle of the band competions they record their first two albums "Imagine Dragon EP" and "Hell and Silence" which both were released in 2010 before they where signed to any major record deal. They are currently signed to Interscope (KDinaKORNER). What got my attention about this band was their song "Radioactive" I think the way they attack their music is very unique and different. Everything they put together seems like it would be a contradiction but it work really well so take a listen and tell me what you think.
