It’s been a while since I put together a Showin’ Some Love post, so I figured I’d do just that today. This Showin’ Some Love is going to focus on music…or more specifically, bands. Thanks to my husband I have a rather eclectic taste in music. I listen to everything from Metallic to Eisley to Flogging Molly to Taylor Swift. But today I thought I’d focus on one type of music…indie or alternative…and share some of my favorite bands.

• Eisley
I first saw/heard Eisley when Ryan took me to my first real concert for Switchfoot and Eisley was one of the opening bands. We loved them and their sound and we’ve been keeping track of all their new releases. The band is composed of the duPree family (four siblings and a cousin) from Tyler, Texas. They’ve got such an awesome sound…it’s kind of ethereal and the lyrics on their original album were so unique. If you haven’t heard Eisley’s music – you should definitely check them out.

• She & Him
I love everything about this band! First of all, I’m a huge fan of the Deschanel girls. I think both Emily (from the tv series Bones) & Zooey (She & Him and various other movies) are awesome, gorgeous, smart, etc. Anyway, back to the band. She & Him have an awesome sound. Zooey’s voice is this beautiful airy sound usually accompanied by an uplifting melody. I could listen to this band every day!

• Vedera
Vedera is another band we found out about at a concert. The second concert I went to with Ryan was an Eisley concert and Vedera opened for them. This band has an awesome sound as well. They lean towards a more indie rock feel and they’ve got some great acoustic music. They’ve got some really interesting and meaningful lyrics too.

• A Fine Frenzy
My friend, Nikki, introduced me to A Fine Frenzy not too long ago. A Fine Frenzy has a fun ethereal feeling to it like several of these other bands. She’s got an interesting look and sound to her too. She’s been around a little while so you may have heard her music before.

So there you have it! Just a few of my favorite bands. And when I say a few, I mean a few. I like way too many. So I hope you enjoyed this edition of Showin’ Some Love. If you’ve got any bands you’d like to share with me, I’d love your input! I’m always looking for fun new music.
