Oh No! Oh My!

I’m gonna break the rules a little, because I thought I had already written about Oh No! Oh My!. I’ve been listening to a few of their wonderful songs for a while, so I just assumed that they had come up. I’m not on top of my game when it comes to New Bands these days. Their self-released debut has been out for five whole months and I had no idea. Meanwhile all kinds of people have probably praised them all the way to mega fame, but I wanna put in my two cents as well. That’s the right thing to do when something brings you this much joy.

They’re three guys from Texas who, according to Brikabrak Records, had switched genres and band names twice before deciding on the name and kind of music we know and love now. I get excited just thinking about their song “Party Punch”. They would probably fit nicely between your Arcade Fire, CYHSY and Wolf Parade cds, but they make it a point to sound different while giving you a beautiful catchy song with a seemingly simple tune. “Walk In The Park”, for instance, sounds exactly as the title suggests, like it was written in two minutes, but it’s so nice to sit back and enjoy how uncomplicated liking a song can be and then they hit you with a line like ‘nice day for a drive-by shooting’. That kills me! (excuse the pun)

Swipe your own copy of their debut at insound. You can listen to more songs on Brikabrak and of course on their Oh No! Oh MySpace!. Sigh, yes I hate me too, but I couldn’t resist.
