Fences

I'm sure many of you have heard of Phoenix. Their song "1901" gets played on the radio frequently. If you don't know who they are, they're a band from France. They took off with the release of their album titled "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenux" released in 2009. My favorite song off the album is "Fences."

Thieves

I'm sure most of you are familiar with Zooey Deschanel and her musical project She & Him. Deschanel is one half of S&H alongside M. Ward. I had heard of S&H but never really got into them until the day my co-worker started singing along to "Thieves," and I instantly became hooked.

Shout Out Louds are indie rock band from Stockholm, Sweden. The song below is titled "Impossible" and it's off their album titled "Our Ill Willis."
