Attention! Attention!

If you don't already know them, then you need to get acquainted with New Jersey band Attention! Attention!. These guys are going to be huge, no doubt about it. They've been on Myspace for what, 3 months now, and magage an average of 500 plays per day? There's no denying that kind of popularity. Thanks to the 14 year old kid who mentioned them to me, otherwise it would have taken me much longer to come across these guys. How they made it on a bill with Liam and Me is unknown to me yet, but it's pretty amazing. Attention! Attention! isnt necessarily Thrive Records type of music, but then again neither is Liam and Me.

Yes, Attention! Attention! sounds like 1,000 other acoustic/powerpop bands out there, but with only 900 friends and 500 plays per day on Myspace, there is definitley something special about these guys. Fans actually feel a personal connection to this band and their music. What does that equal?? RECORD SALES. I haven't felt this strongly about a band since I found Forever The Sickest Kids, who decided to forego us and sign with Universal, but that's another story. FTSK are now one of the biggest hype stories yet to put out an album, averaging 11,000 plays per day on Myspace.

If you can make it to NJ for thier August 27th show with Liam and Me, I highly recommend it. It's only $9 and not only are there a bunch of other bands playing, but these two have so much potential that you'll be able to hang around your locker in the high school hallway bragging that you knew these guys wayyyy before they were big. And just think of how cool that will make you. If I had any kind of transportation besides SEPTA, I'd be there in a heartbeat. On that note, if anyone wants to swing through Center City on their way to see the next big thing that night, give me a call.
