15. The Submarines - Love Notes/ Letter Bombs
I cannot get enough of The Submarines ...ever. Very simply, this band is the result of a love story. John Dragonetti and Blake Hazard were in a musical and romantic relationship for four years. After they broke up, they continued to write songs individually, and discovered in recording (Blake still recorded in John's studio) that their songs were about each other. They worked on some of the songs together and in 2006, released Declare a New State with songs of desperation and loss. Incredibly romantic love songs. They got back together and wrote Honeysuckle Weeks, which are songs of hope and reunion. Their latest album, Love Notes/Letter Bombs would be combination of both, I believe. Blake is this sunshiney, bright happy individual countered by John's dark stage persona. They are cute beyond belief and write incredibly thoughtful and hooky songs. Please don't judge them by the dorky video below.
