Music Picks for Wednesday, Nov 10

Never Shout Never w/ The Maine - Lincoln Theatre (Indie/Rock) - **SOLD OUT**
Two Heavy-Hitting Indie bands take the stage - NY Based Never Shout Never and The Maine from Phoenix. To start with Never Shout Never, these guys have quickly worked their way into the regional and national picture through an agressive grassroots marketing campaign that targeted Campus Radio. Of course it helps to have good music to back up the marketing - and this meet and exceeds that standard. Blending simplistic guitar, percussion and music with simple but clear and good harmonies and well as catchy songwriting that speak to everyday life - in a simplistic approach. This blend has a contemporary feel to it with light touches of hip-hop - in a melodic way... Overall its very catchy and a great listen - This is highly reccomended.
Not to take anything away from Never shout Never, The Maine takes a different tack, more pop than indie - these guys using hard charging guitars and sing/song vocals that have a mainstream Indie Pop sound that has certainly found favor in it's popularity. "In your Arms" has generated over 1 million hits on their websites - and is currently in the top 100 of indie tunes... Their musical style is reminiscent of The Killers or Snow Patrol. This is going to be a great show - and it is technically SOLD OUT - but it's worth it if you are interested - to get there early and check for extra tickets - there usually allways are... This will be a great show - check it out!
