Their debut album When It Was Now was released February 19th. Info taken from Wikipedia. I've discovered these guys because iTunes chose to promote one of their songs,"Symptoms",as their Single of the Week. It's a really catchy song,and so I decided to check their album out as well,which is even better. Filled with slick dance jams (Electric,Trojans) and catchy hooks everywhere (Don't Make a Scene,Back Seat),it's an album that won't disappoint! My personal favorite is the opener,"Electric". Oh,did I mention they're touring with Imagine Dragons? What a great combo!! Check out their songs below! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitlyn Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I downloaded "Symptoms" as well from iTunes. I really like it, but I haven't taken the time to listen to any more of their stuff. I'll try them out this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParentAtTheDisco Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 They're touring a lot, and if you get a change to see them live, do so!! I've seen them perform in person three times in the past few months and, as good as they are recorded, they're even more energetic on stage! I am kind of addicted to the song If So right now.
