The Naked and Famous.
 

I haven't seen a thread on here about them yet, and I'm kind of surprised. I love them, they're definitely one of my favorites and a top recommendation of mine.

Songs to listen to:
Young Blood
Punching in a Dream
All of This

Anyone else like them?

I really like them! A friend showed me the song Young Blood and it's probably my favorite by them.

Go New Zealand bands! They are awesome. Really different.

I usually stay away from listening to the radio but some times it just happens. I heard the song Young Blood first and then they started to play Punching In A Dream and they grew on me so I listened to the whole album Passive Me, Aggressive You. And by far my favorite song is Girls Like You.

Their album is too catchy. "Eyes" is my personal favourite.

punching in a dream is a track that has recently hit me over the head, in a good way. can't stop listening to this one.

what other bands would you recommend with this high energy and strong melody?

j

Yes. We claim them as Aus. Haha.

Try:

The temper trap
Boy and bear
Gotye

I listened to Passive Me, Agressive You for the first time today and was really impressed. It's solid all the way through. I'm definitely looking forward to their next LP and seeing them live.

Good band, passive is a good album, possibly got a good few new fans due to young blood being on that camera advert.

I just listened to "young blood" and i cannot help but think the vocals sound like La Roux. Its not particularily a bad thing..just sayin'
