The music scene is constantly evolving, but the radios seem to have their mind set on playing the same songs all of the time.

Here are some new bands you can check out to change it up a bit:

I am constantly listening to music, whether it’s while I’m working on homework, driving, or walking to class, so I’m always looking for new music to listen to because I get a little bored after listening to the same stuff over and over again. Luckily, there’s things like Spotify, iTunes Radio, and Pandora that help me discover new artist and bands. Here are a few of the up and coming bands and artists that I’ve found recently:     

Bad Suns: I can’t get enough of this band. They have such a different vibe to them and I feel like they would be incredible awesome live in concert.      

I’ve also been listening to Echosmith. I know everyone has probably heard their song, “Cool Kids,” and I really liked that song so I figured I should give the rest of their album a try and it’s great.      

Sam Smith performed at the VMAs and he has an incredible voice and can sing really well live.     

Ariana Grande, who also sang at the VMAs, is becoming popular as well. She started off acting, but her singing career has taken off and currently has 3 songs in the iTunes top 20.   

Most of the time when I’m driving to and from home, I listen to the radio to see what’s popular and typically they play the same 10 songs over and over again, but I like to listen to those songs and then the rest of the albums by those artists, because I never know if the artist is just a one-hit-wonder or if they actually have a lot to offer. When they are good, I feel like I’ve found a hidden treasure.
