National Record Store Day (54/90)

I don't know if you guys heard, but April 17th was National Record Store day. What does this mean? Well, It's the one day of the year where we get to honor our local record stores. In other words, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RECORD STORES! The one here next to Ball State, the Village Green Record Store, is by far my favorite record store ever. Travis knows just about every type of music out there. He's addicted to music (or so he claims). He's the guy to go to when you want to find new music to listen to.

Well anyways, on to the bands that played on National Record Store Day..

I think I'll just start out by saying that I did not see every band that played. In fact, I missed some of the best ones (Bonesetters). Gosh darn, I missed the Bonesetters. FUUUUUUUUUUCK. Okay, let's move on...

Osteoferocious:
These guys are one of my favorite acts at the VGR. Their songs are so energetic and fast, it's crazy. From what I've heard online, their songs are a mixture of reggae and punk rock, but live their sound is completely punk rock fast. I find it so awesome how two people (guitarist and drummer) can create so much energy together. Usually, bands have more people playing than that.

P.O.N.S.:
At least I think that's what they were called. Their music was pretty much indescribable. That dude wasn't joking. All I remember hearing was some guy shouting as loud as he could and playing the loudest guitar I've ever heard. And the band did not disappoint.

The Seedy Seeds:
They were a band I really got into after seeing them for the first time a year ago. They have some really catchy folk pop songs mixed in with a computer generated synth beats in the background. My favorite part about the band is the freaking banjo. It's just so awesome!

Those three bands stuck out for me the most. I know this is a weird combination, but whatever. Don't question it.

I'm cutting this post here. Cheese. Out.
