Cage the Elephant is an indie rock band from bowling green Kentucky comprised of brothers Matthew and Brad Shultz, Lincoln Parish and Jared Champion. The band has already released two albums, their self titled debut album and "Thank You, Happy Birthday". With radio friendly songs such as "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" and "Shake Me Down" it's no wonder this band has started to gain popularity.
The reason why I like this band so much is their catchy lyrics, which incorporate imagery as heard in the song "Around My Head" where Matthew says that shes got him "tangled like a bread tie twisted" and because of the many analogies hidden throughout their songs. In addition to this Matthew's vocals put a lot of emotion into his songs such as, in "Lotus" he goes from sounding worried in the intro, to optimistic in the chorus. Not a lot of other bands can evoke the type of emotion and energy that's felt from his singing that this band can. I also enjoy their catchy drum and guitar riffs and the jazzy bass pattern that can also be heard in the song "Lotus". So if you like what you hear from the music player at the bottom right hand corner of my page check out Cage The Elephant, it'll be worth your while.
