Plushgun
In a whirlwind of talent and pure luck, musician Daniel Ingala and his new band Plushgun, have been riding the wave of success since posting the single “Just Impolite” on MySpace. A few hundred thousand plays later, Ingala posted the song on Ourstage.com, a venue for fans to discover new music. It quickly hit the #1 spot on the Alternative Rock channel in January 2008. A strangely funny and sometimes awkward video has since been produced, featuring Rainn Wilson (The Office) and director Tyler Shields wrestling. Plushgun’s music is full of synths with a middle to high BPM’s; very danceable and easy to dive into. It requires little ramp up and is super casual if you are looking for just something to listen to while getting ready to go out. If you are looking for a tool to help you reflect, Plushgun’s music can help with that too, providing (surprisingly) deep lyrics and themes. Look for the album to drop January 2009. In the meantime, you can get a taste for their music via the 4 song EP, released a few weeks ago.
