Boys like Girls

Boys Like Girls is a four-piece American rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. The group completed nationwide tours with Cute Is What We Aim For, Hit the Lights and Butch Walker and topped the Top Unsigned Artist chart on PureVolume, within a few months from forming in late 2005. In August 2006 they released their Matt Squire-produced debut album, Boys Like Girls via Columbia Records/Red Ink. On March 17, 2007, it was announced that the band was voted 2006 Artist of the Year by the readers of Spin.

I grabbed myself a copy of their album and immediately started listening. Two of their most popular songs are The Great Escape (listen) and Hero Heroine (listen). Here are some lyrics from Hero Heroine:

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
I’m feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It’s not complicated
I was so jaded.

I’m not a huge punk/alternative/rock fan, but I find quite a few of there songs very enjoyable. Thanks to Danielleyxbelly for pointing this group out to me :)
