My Favorite Artist

My favorite artist would come in the form of a group. A group called Between the Buried and Me (BTBAM). They derive their name from a Counting Crows lyric, I can't remember what song off the top of my head. However, this group is nothing like Counting Crows. This group has been very influential and progressive in the last 6 or 7 years.

BTBAM is comprised of five people, a vocalist/keyboardist, two guitarists, one bassist, and one drummer. They are all extremely talented at their instruments and show that through their music. Its very technical but it flows in almost an unexplainable way.

Their latest album "Colors" was themed in a way where every song had a respective color it represented and they did an excellent job on portraying that in their songs. Their website alone is a work of art, they take the time to break down the meaning of their songs and also leave them open for interpretation for fans to give their opinions.

Check em out, yes its loud, don't be afraid. There is something there if you give it a chance and learn to APPRECIATE it.
