They obviously are just listening to their regular playlist and have not made themselves accessible to the new music. There is a band that I am very excited about and wanted to share with you. Check out The Knitts from Los Angeles. First off, they are not a new band since they formed around 2011 but they are definitely new to me and I am lovin what I am hearing.
