Steel Train - I Feel WeirdPhotobucket 

This is the first track off of Steel Train’s most recent album, Trampoline. It’s full of high energy and fun melodic hooks. It almost reminds me of Bruce Springsteen in a way… the xylophones especially! (Coincidence since both come from Jersey? Hmm…) 

I never heard anything from Steel Train before, but I know that they used to be a bit of a jam band, but have since modified their sound since forming in 1999. This band should definitely be given another chance for those who already have heard them. They’ve come along way since lead singer/guitarist Jack Antonoff dated Scarlett Johansson. I seriously suggest you check out their album if you’re down for ridiculously melodic indie pop/rock/folk.  You can tell these guys put a lot of time and effort into this album to ‘reinvent’ themselves…for the better. 

They’ll be touring a lot this spring in support of Trampoline. If you’re going to Bonnaroo, check ‘em out! :)
