Black Keys is a really really good rock band. They are a little overexposed right now, but don't let their pop culture popularity confuse you; these cats can rock.

I saw them on ther most recent tour and the best part of the show was when it was just the two of them on stage. They somehow played harder and louder when it was only two of them.

Man, not to be a dick or anything but what is your deal with Japandroids? I really enjoyed Celebration Rock, but the best current rock band?? Damn.


To KOL debate with everyone else:

Maybe we have different definitions of "selling out" but by my definition, that's exactly what KOL did. Baloo said it right. Their threw away their true self after their first 2-3 albums. If you really listen to each one, you can hear the progression. Easily. They slowly transition to a more mainstream sound. I've never blamed bands who sell out....it makes them more money. Who can blame them? But I do have a lot more respect for groups who stick to who they are. Obviously KOL grew older and matured in their lives, but I was not a fan of the direction their sound went.

/end Rant. They used to be my favorite band, which is why I seem so up in arms about this
