Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Cage The Elephant

You should definitely pick this one up today if you’re into rock music. It’s like indie-folk songwriting meets a super-laid-back, yet energetic punk-rock band that was influenced by 90’s grunge. If that sentence doesn’t make sense—good, it shouldn’t. That sort of sums up their eclectic sound.
