"At this point, I really don't understand why
fun. aren't the biggest band around." ~ Hayley Williams, October '09

Fun. are the band of the year blogosphere wise, they've been hyped constantly from the start and are busy achieving success on the back of this. You can find them on twitter too where they said they'll be playing England in 2010 which is great news. If you don't know fun they rose from the ashes of the format and are in a similar vein, great times, guy/girl vocals on the best tracks, just nate on others. Truth is, in my opinion this album doesn't hold up that well over time and 6 months since finding them i only really listen to the tracks i've reccomended, you should check them all out though just to see what all the fuss was/is about.

Fun.- aim and ignite (2009)

It's an absolute travesty that fun. haven't been on my blog yet. Most days I think to myself that I should blog about then because they're that awesome but i keep not doing it and haven't since I heard "At least i'm not as sad..." around 6 months ago and instead i've been writing about rihanna... Well this all about to change, you NEED this album I swear i'm not as suicidal (as I used to be)

That was a joke... uh lol :D

Anyway like Hayley Williams said on twitter the other day- "At this point, I really don't understand why fun. aren't the biggest band around."
