I found this amazing new band on iTunes: The Beatles

With a couple changes to their image, these guys could do alright for themselves.

So I was just looking around for some new music on iTunes and I came across quite the find I think.

The Beatles.

I know, lame name right? Is that some sort of bad bug pun or something? Not very cool. But hopefully you'll give them a chance. They sound sort like like Oasis, just a little bit worse. They're pretty much influenced by every single rock band of the last 50 years, so it's nothing really new, but that doesn't mean it's not good. I have to say, they did a pretty great cover of that "Wonder Years" song, "With a Little Help From My Friends." Sure the singer isn't so great, but it's a good listen.

And don't get turned off by their clean-cut Bieber look. Really, these guys are pretty good. Sure, they probably won't top the charts or anything, but they'll probably be popular with the indie crowd. Particularly their very lo-fi vibe to all their music is at least a nice change.

There's not a single auto-tuned song, although I feel like an album like "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" would have been significantly improved if they spent a little more time in the studio and threw some more cutting edge production on it.

I'm sure the British mags are going to hype these guys like crazy, but they're solid. Still, check these guys out, they're should be able to hold us over until the new Kanye comes out. I figure these guys will be touring non-stop so I'll definitely try to catch them on the road somewhere. I keep looking for tour dates and if they stop by the Metro or Schubas I'd love to go.

Let me know if anyone knows anything about them, they seem pretty cool.

wow! WHAT A DISCOVERY! These musicians sure hit that 1960'S IMPRESSION ON PEOPLE! Don't you wonder how they got a rock band video game BEFORE THE ALBUMS WERE RELEASED ON ITUNES? That's pretty weird. I also wonder why it says TWO OF THE BANDMATES ARE DEAD. Maybe its a TYPO ON EVERY INTERNET INFORMATION RESOURCE. They have really good albums ALL RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME SOMEHOW. My parents told me they know alot about the Beatles but how? THEY JUST CAME OUT! Let's both check their wikipedia page and learn more about them. You're such a genious.

"scottbolohanissmrt" is the true genious. Good article Mr. Bolohan. Sorry that your humor/style was lost on some people.

Eh, well atleast you're joking. Seriously though, some of the younger generations (I'm 17 myself) don't know who The Beatles actually are so don't blame scottbolohanissmrt for not catching onto your type of humor.
I died a little inside when you compared them to Justin Bieber.
