Current Obessions 2

Helloooo! Thank you so much for reading and buzzing my Current Obession journal. :) Alot of people wanted me to write another one so I've decided I'm going to write a Current Obession journal twice a month.. I'll try to post them the first and third monday of the month. So here are my other current obessions for July. I hope you like them!

1. Zac Sief


If you like Never Shout Never or The Ready Set, you'll love Zac Sief. Plus he spells his name without a h or k, which is very cool. The simple lyrics and poppy sound just make me smile. Check him out on myspace.  This cutie from Dallas, Texas is always looking to play at shows and meeting his fan. Currently, I think he's just playing some shows in Texas. So if you live in Texas and want him to play in your city, leave him a comment on his myspace. He'll actually respond. Zac recently released his EP - Capos On Pants Off for $3.96 so go buy it! You'll love it.

2. Mandy K

I actually heard about Mandy K through John (he used to play the keyboard but now plays the drums) who had sent me a friend request on Facebook.The first time I heard Sunflower, I fell in love. It reminded me so much of Daisy by The Maine. But maybe that's because they're both about flowers..Haaha. This powerpop band from Buffalo, NY sounds like Sing It Loud and Every Avenue combined. Kinda? Listen for yourself on their myspace to see what they sound like. They will be on warped all summer so be sure you go say hi to them at the Leakmob Records Tent. Fall in love with Mandy K by buying their self titled album for $5.94 or their other album 'The Birds and the Bees' for $8.91.

Talk to them on AIM!

3. Parachute

I heard of Parachute through The Downtown Fiction. They were playing a hometown show together with another band who's name I can't remember right now. I couldn't go because I was going home from my cousin's that day. (I'm from Pittsburgh and she lives in Fairfax, VA). I totally forgot about them until I heard 'She Is Love' on VH1 sitting in a hotel lobby somwhere in Ohio. Will's voice reminded me of John Mayer and Jason Mraz combined. Beautiful. Ever since then, I couldn't stop listening to their album Losing Sleep (Bonus Track Version), which you can buy on iTunes for $6.99.

4. David Pavluk



Sound familiar? He's the bassist of The Downtown Fiction. In his free time, David likes to play covers. Everything from Taylor Swift to Soulja Boy. I personally think his covers are way better than the original verision. Interested? Listen here and download the songs. Every night, I listen to Breathe and The District Sleeps Alone Tonight. It's sooo relaxing.

5. Creem City

 

 

I started listening to Creem City because of Laura, the lead singer. She had added me on buzznet sometime this month, and I thank her for that. Add her on buzznet. If it weren't for that. I probably would've never heard of Creem City. This band from Seattle, WA reminded me why I love female singers and rock music. If you like rock music, listen to them sometime. I'm sure you'll love them.

I hope you'll become obessed with these bands like I have. :D

peaceee,

<3Jenny
