Angels and Airways Help Keep ‘OC-Style’ Pop Rock Alive

indierockartists

They are not necessarily ‘indie’ (whatever that is), because they are signed with Universal, but Angels and Airwaves are starting to get plenty of blog buzz.

The Adventure – Angels and Airwaves

Clearly, they are talented and make some catchy songs, but A&A may be a bit too polished by the record exces for their own good.

For example, this A&A video clip and the song could be straight outta OC.

Still, I have to admit I sometimes like the “OC style” – the corporate polished pop rock from heavily promoted artists and groups ‘owned’ by one of the Big Four.

While “OC style” branded pop rock is cool sometimes, my heart and soul are always with the indie bands, signed and unsigned, that keep amazing me each time I spin a new virtually unknown track or play catch-up and groove on songs that hit the Net six or more months ago.

It’s hard to keep up with all the great music out there nowadays, but I’m doing my best. :-
