Miike Snow and The Goo Goo Dolls

      Miike Snow is a indie rock band from Stockholm, Sweden. They named the band this because one member received a email from a friend names Mike Snow. They added an extra "i" because it looked cool. The members include Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnburg, and Andrew Wyatt. The band released their début album in 2009 and their first single shortly afterward. Their first single was "Animal," and just so happened to be the first song I had heard from them. This is personally my favorite song of theirs because I think that is has a good rhythm, sound, and overall volume of the vocals with the music. I like their first album because they include a little bit of more modern style along with and older feel as well. I really like how they use drums even with so much "industrial" sound. I like their songs "Silvia" and "Black & Blue," from their first album especially. Miike Snow's second album "Happy to You" came out in march of 2012. The song "Devil's Work" is a good song and I like how it starts out with the drums and piano and I think they did a good job incorporating the trumpets. There are a few great songs on this album and then there are a few that I feel they may have overdosed on the electronics.
      The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 and have made 14 albums since then as well as many hits. The members include John Rzeznik, Robby Takac, George Tutaska,(1986-1994) and Mike Maligning (1995-2013).
      The Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" was number one on the Billboard's Top 100 Pop songs 1992-2012 chart and their song "Slide" was at number nine. It would take all day to list my favorite songs of theirs so I will just list a few, "Let Love In," "Name," and "Here is Gone" are some of The Goo Goo Dolls best songs. I would extremely encourage you to check out "The Goo Goo Dolls Greatest Hits Volume One: The Singles" album, it has many of their best songs from all of their 14 albums. I would also encourage you to do some hunting of your own for songs you may like.

      If you like either of these bands I recommend to look at The Black Keys.
