Anyone know this group? I know of a song by them that a friend of mine sent me and it's not bad. Their CD is coming out this week. I think they could be a talked-about new artist for this year (if they're new).

They are quite good. They aren't new, but their "buzz" is definitely more intense than in the past. hype.non-standard.net/popular^as you can see, they are getting a good deal of blog hype at the moment.

"Young Folks" is a great song and "Writers Block" is a good CD. I have been listening to it fairly regularly for a while now.

banet & iMax are two of the coolest people on this forum. And Shock Value, joker, and juhn. And of course, my husband jaxxalude (where is he? cheating on me again? )

I've heard some of the songs from their new album, and I've liked what I've heard. I'll probably pick it up at some point soon. And I agree, I am a cool person.

We can easily put this in music news. They are hardly obscure.

On the Billboard 200, 07/07/07: 200 192 11 Writer's Block, Peter Bjorn And John They've sold about 90k so far, peaking at #158. The album didn't sound great to me at first, but after a few listens it started revealing itself. Which is weird, since it's pretty melodic and pop. But this was really uncalled for: stoppeterbjornandjohn.blogspot.com/Anyway mods, can this be moved to the General Artists Discussion forum? Pretty please? ;)

I like their music now. The local Dance station was playing the album version of "Young Folks." I thought it was a tad odd that they were playing them, but it works. It felt like a folksier version of Scissor Sisters or Abba without all the camp and stuff, but the music is nice.

I've been charting "Young Folks" for 20 weeks now, with 13 of those weeks being in the Top 5. Due to the fact that no radio station here in Kelowna, and I only have their CD to listen to to heard the track, I simply can't get enough of it.

I love "Young Folks." I heard it on Sirius Radio a few weeks ago and I fell in love with it.

GIGWISEPeter Bjorn & John Re-Release 'Young Folks'It's out this September...by Scott ColothanPeter Bjorn & John are set to re-release their defining track ‘Young Folks’ this autumn.Originally released last summer (yes, when we actually saw some sunshine), the new package – out at all good record stores on September 17 - will be augmented by a bumper remix package. Contributing remixes are Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve (aka Erol Alkan), Phones (aka Paul Epworth) Diplo and OrtzRoka. The seven inch completes the package with its b-side ‘Ancient Curse.’ In the run up to the re-release, the band have a busy summer at the festivals playing Reading and Leeds, as well as Get Loaded in the Park. They squeeze in an intimate show at Brighton Concorde 2 on August 25. =============================//================================ And this, my friends, is the power of licensing music for a number of commercials.

Didn't they have an album of mostly instrumentals after Writer's Block or is this that album? The instrumental album is titled Seaside Rock and was released last year. It didn't get much hype though, LOL. Living Thing is the proper follow-up to Writer's Block. I'm loving it, great pop album.
