Sam's Top 20 of 2013: #12



12. “If So,” Atlas Genius

I’m not going to lie there’s a lot of bands that I won’t ever remember after this year, but what I do know is there should be songs that will always kick ass and make me go whoa those guys are really good and that’s kind of what this song feels like to me, because it’s the most classic sounding Alternative Rock song I’ve heard in a while because when I listen to it it’s like a cross between R.E.M.’s vocals and They Might Be Giants frenetic guitar work with a wonderfully simple but awesome chorus that’s everything right with the radio sometimes.

Nothing too overly hip to be indie here, nor too much in terms of synthesizers nope it’s just good old fashioned college rock.
