Ive searched long and far in the depths of Newschoolers forums for the past couple months and I've decided that today was the day id let NS know about a band they call Broken Bells. The band consists of James Mercer of The Shins and Brian Burton of Gnarls Barkley and Dangerdoom. Burtons also the producer of the gorrilaz and beck. Awesome colaboration. To me it sounds like a combination of the gorrilaz and the white stripes. Have a listen...




^Song doesnt start until like 1:20 in this one.



All there songs are good. These are a couple of my favorites.

just going to claim that I did make a thread about them in January (https://newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/514380/) but no hate man. They definitely deserve the hype

These guys and Mumford & Sons are on my radar right now for making amazing music. Nice to see really talented artists on the radio lately.

same shit whatever. My head hurts and i felt it was a repost anyway.

Not the most epic album to ever show up. People love everything that's new then move onto the next thing. Not saying it's a bad album it's decent, but not mind blowing.  And somebody had to have posted a thread before since videos have popped up in music threads for a while. And everyone on hear has heard about them.

The shins were better.

First song kinda sounds like Mattafix, except not as high of a voice

I love the broken bells. James Mercer is an amazing singer/songwriter.
