Artist of the Week/of a lifetime: The Black Keys

This is a band I discovered in Summer 2013
                                  and haven't looked back since.

This talented American guitar and drums rock/blues duo encapsulate everything I love about the genre. Their lyrics catchy and original, their videos are entertainingly absurd, and their music is so rich and soul-absorbing you can't help but writhe with the strumming of the guitar and headbang vigorously with the drum beat.
In a few words: they are bloody good.

Best picks:

- Tighten Up (I strongly suggest watching the music video for this one)
- Gold On The Ceiling
- Howlin' For You
- Lonely Boy
- Little Black Submarines
