Minnesota Bands

Moving on up to Minnesota for state #3.

Take Cover

I can’t get enough of this band. When I put their latest EP The Last Word into my car stereo, it doesn’t come out for weeks – even though it repeats every 13 minutes. The music is upbeat and the vocal melodies are catchy, making you want to sing a long with every word.
These Minneapolis boys released their first EP in September of 2008 and with that, gained a following in Minnesota. Take Cover’s latest EP was released in June of this year, and with continuous touring this band is making a name for themselves across the country. It’s hard not to love Take Cover when you see their live show. You can see how passionate they are about their music – and their fans. Catch them on tour with Quietdrive [also from Minnesota] and The Higher through November.

All the Right Moves

Also hailing from Minneapolis, All the Right Moves bring a different element into their music: violin. I know what your thinking, didn’t Yellowcard already do this? But All the Right Moves has their own unique sound. Their tunes are extremely catchy [I can never get them out of my head - and that's a good thing!] and pop driven. They also throw a keyboard into the mix, making it all the more interesting. They’ve got a self-titled CD out right now, and a new record is being made as we speak. All the Right Moves’ next release should be out in early 2010.
Their live show is full of energy and hilarious jokes – they definitely keep you entertained.  Make sure you meet them afterward, they love interacting with their fans!
