White Light Riot

I have quite a backlog of artists and songs that I've been wanting to tell people about. But because I was too lazy, busy, or ADD-ish (I don't really have ADD, but others would disagree with me, I'm sure. The verdict, however, is still out on whether I'll have the attention span to update this blog.) to start a blog, I didn't really have an avenue to really tell a wider group of people about bands and artists that I've been listening to or would like them to check out, and I'm sure my friends have gotten sick of me whoring out my favorite bands and artists. Since I finally got off my proverbial butt and started a blog, I can tell you about this next band that I first heard about in May of this year. White Light Riot is an Indie Rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They formed in 2005 and released their LP Atomism in 2007. They were Indie rock before many of the faceless Emo and Pop Punk bands started to incorporate different sounds and adding synthesizers to their music. Their vast musical influences and unique sound are what separate them from their Indie Rock peers. And simply put, they kick ass.

This is my favorite video from them; It's from their album Atomism. The song is called "Out of Sight".
