Lead singer Brittany Howard, of the band Alabama Shakes takes this whole garage rock/ blues genre to another level! I would have to be the first to say when I just heard of the band back in 2013 I was never really a huge fan, fast forward to today I think I might even want to see them live, maybe... Like many other artists, I really got to see them in action at the 2013 Grammy's, and I was amazed by Brittany's powerful, and may I say the least raspy, RAW edge. I actually really like one of there latest releases Don't Wanna Fight. This song should get more attention only because it sounds better than their last major breakthrough hit, Hold On. The song Don't Wanna Fight, has an easier listen and the more you listen, the more it becomes normal to your ears if you're actually not a Blues or Rock fan. You can listen to it over and over and realize that this band is what this generation needs. I don't really get a chance to see a lot of great bands making heads turn lately and where everyone knows them, but I do feel like this band has a geed idea on what rock should sound like. Please do yourself a favor and get familiar with this band.
