Has anyone else heard of them? I just recently found out about them and I like them already, they have a very good Indie pop sound. Their new album came out 2 months ago and it's awesome this was my favorite song off it

"More Than Just A Dream" - Great album and here are the songs I recommend -

6am

You need to check out their first album. They have way more instrumentation going on like a hornline and it just creates a fuller sound. If you like this second album then you'll love the first one even more.

Cool, what other songs do you recommend off their first album? But I gotta say I love their second albums 80's pop feel it's sooo lively and fresh sounding.

If you don't like Moneygrabber then I can't help you man. The overall sound of their first album is all rolled into that song. Pickin' up the pieces and Tighter are my other go to songs from that album.

No I like it, other ones you recommended sound good as well

But the differences from their first and second album are like night and day!

Yeah, I was mad disappointed at first when I heard their second album coming from the first one.

I did give it a chance though and it slowly grew on me.

Yeah but would you say that the first one used more acoustic instruments compared to the second one which was really synthpop, electronica...

Fitz and the Tantrums has never had a guitar player and I think it works against them. They'd have a much fuller sound with a guitar player.

I really like the type of music they're trying to play put I don't think Michael Fitzpatrick has the vocal chops to pull it off. Fitz's back up singer Maya Azucena is a much better singer than he his.

I was expecting more of that 60s type sound they were using and they decided to jump two decades and go to the 80s and I was like booooo.

Well they probably did it to appeal to a mainstream audience that unfortunately loves Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and whatever other artist today's crap-pop spits out...

But I would still say this 80's inspired pop album they came up with is better then gaga, perry and other crap today.... but that's just my two cents
