Every once in a while you stumble across a band that you instantly fall in love with as soon as you hear one song by them. For me the Republic Tigers, this week's BotW, was one of those bands. I discovered them through the wondrous land of Daytrotter. Daytrotter is an amazing site that invites bands to come and record four songs to post on Daytrotter. All of the songs are recorded live and in one take, which makes for pure awesomeness. You can check out the Republic Tigers session here. The best way to describe the Republic Tigers is "layers." All of their music is pretty complex with different layers of guitars, keybordy/electronicy sounds, and vocals. All of their songs have lots of vocal harmonies that contribute to the Republic Tigers' unique sound. So far the Republic Tigers have only released a self-titled EP and Keep Color, their one and only full length. Keep Color is a solid album and very well put together.

"Buildings & Mountains" leads off the album and with its electronic intro sets the pace for the rest of the album. It would definitely be worth your time to check these guys out. Oh, and by the way, I would totally like to take a bike ride with a jet pack on my back.
Favorite tracks:
