New Artist: Harlem Shakes

Harlem Shakes turned some heads in 2007 with the release of their first EP entitled Burning Birthdays, a quirky set of pop tunes that was undeniably catchy and exceptionally smart. After a fairly quiet last year, the band are set to release their first full-length album, Technicolor Health, in March. The group create a great pop style using a mix of spiky guitars, soaring keys, and both programmed and traditional percussion, and while they draw from a variety of influences, their sound feels unique and fresh. I'm predicting some serious hype surrounds this album within the next couple weeks.

The band have a song up at their MySpace page called "Strictly Game" and I simply can not get enough of the fantastic guitar/drum combo behind the witty, well-delivered lyrics; it's pure pop perfection. Add this to the list of reasons March is gonna be an amazing month for music.
