Things you might not know about but you probably should: Music Edition vol.2

No need to pussyfoot around at this point with what you're going to find here. Continuing the Bushwood tradition of enriching your existence, we give you some things you might now know about but probably should! Music Edition! Vol.2!

Once again you'll find a selection from each in the handy player below. Vamanos!

Them Crooked Vultures: Very rarely do a group of individually talented people come together to form an unstoppable juggernaut. However, Them Crooked Vultures seem to have done just that. John Paul Johnes (Led Zeppelin), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) get downright nasty on the bands self-titled debut album. Rock on.

Grab these: Mind Eraser No Chaser, New Fang

Mumford & Sons: There has been an eerie connection between the musical choices of David Letterman and The Bushwood Staff as of late. After recently showcasing the network debut of Fanfarlo (mentioned in vol.1), these swarthy Brits recently took the stage at The Ed Sullivan Theater. A fast rising act in the United Kingdom, the London based Mumford & Sons are making their way to the land of freedom and awesomeness, hopefully to a pub or pitch near you.

Grab these: Little Lion Man, The Cave

Gossip: If Ann Wilson and Stevie Nicks placed their eggs in an atom smasher and fertilized that egg with the seed of Roger Daltrey, the result would be Beth Ditto of Gossip. Visually weird as shit but smooth as a McGregor 3-Wood to the ears, the nod to the female fronted classic rock band is in your face and much appreciated. Not since the days of hair like this has a sound been so fresh.

Grab these: Heavy Cross, Keeping You Alive

Matt and Kim: So, yeah. It's a guy named Matt, a girl named Kim who make pop-punk-dance-hip hop music with mostly a keyboard and drum machine. I don't know either but it works. Good Ol' Fashion Nightmare is the type of song that you get uber into when you're by yourself in the car but you might not want other people seeing you sing along to.

Grab these: Good Ol' Fashion Nightmare, Daylight

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: BRMC are by no means a new face on the scene but Beat The Devil's Tattoo is such a rad song it had to be here. The new album of the same name hits your local Sam Goody on March 9th. Check it.

Grab these: Beat The Devil's Tattoo, pretty much everything else
