21. Fruit Bats - Tripper
Fruit Bats are such a great band, and they are only just now starting to get recognized. They got to tour with The Decemberists earlier this year. They've actually been around since 1997 held together by frontman Eric D. Johnson. Eric also played with The Shins in 2009. From Chicago, Fruit Bats make new folk, but with something a little unique about their sound, which might be explained by them citing as an influence, The Grateful Dead. Eric's voice is unique and his songs are poignant, with some really great poetic lyrics. Check out the 80's spoof video below.
