For those who got stuck in-between the 80's and 90's; wearing converse and a corduroy blazer to Counting Crows shows- Talking to Walls is the next band on your list to buy. This is the sound of Rock and Roll when bands actually had to have talent to make a record. Talking to Walls are fairly new, but I would guess a major label snatched them up by now, after listening to the new album- "We were not so tall". They're similar in spirit to the Hold Steady or the National, but they have their own 'thing', as I wouldn't put them in a direct comparison to a band like the Counting Crows, but their sound spreads out all over the spectrum of college radio beer-bong Rock, from The Replacements to Crowded House. Songs like "Came to you" and "Tomorrow" start off with a New Wave vibe and turn into something more- Bruce Springsteen "The River".
This is great music to cruise to, yer slightly buzzed, or just reminiscing about the good old college days.
