I've recommended many songs from previous decades so this time I'm going to recommend two really great bands, The Black Keys and Mother Mother. I remember hearing The Black Keys in a cell phone commercial & that's when I fell in love with them. For a bit of background information, they're a Grammy award-winning American blues-rock music duo consisting of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. I believe Dan, the vocalist and guitarist of the band, has an amazing voice. He contributes a lot to their original sound, furthermore a lot of their material is different from song to song so you really cannot get tired of them. The songs I recommend listening to at fist are: Howlin' For You, Everlasting Light & Tighten Up. Once you get a feel for their music, Sinister Kid & The Only One are really great songs too. Honestly, just buy their entire album "Brothers" every single song is fantastic. In contrast, mother mother is a five-piece Canadian indie rock band. They're originally from Quadra island, however, they are now based in Vancouver :) Guitarist and vocalist Ryan Guldemond came up with the sound for the band and soon recruited his sister Molly, along with a friend from college. The three of them played acoustically until drummer Kenton Loewen and bassist Jeremy Page joined the band. They began to receive high admiration for their work once the Vancouver Province rated Mother Mother in the top 5 bands to look out for in 2007. Originally the band was only called "Mother", when asked about the sudden change in name Dan says "Well, we had to change our name because there are other mothers in the world, besides general maternal figures. Instead of changing the name altogether and losing the steam that we built, we just doubled it up -- just to stay with the continuity.” I think that totally makes sense and I'm also glad they decided to not change it drastically. My favorite song by them right now would have to be "The Stand" because it's strange but very unique. Overall, The Black Keys and Mother Mother are two amazing bands of our own decade.

The Black Keys are indeed an excellent band. I had "Tighten Up" stuck in my head for the longest time. Mother Mother on the other hand is a very unique band. The only song I know by them is "The Stand" and that song freaks me out for some reason. Do you happen to listen to 100.5 the peak. I notice that these are two bands that get a fair amount of airplay on this station.
