fun. what's that?

If a band is going to name themselves fun., then one would hope they live up to the title. I believe they do. Nate Ruess (The Format), Andrew Dost (Anathallo) and Jack Antonoff (Steel Train), who are collectively known as fun., released their debut album "AIM and IGNITE" last week.

fun. blends jangly horn-infused ‘70s-style pop and will most likely garner hipsters and scene crowds, even if they're music couldn't be further from indie rock. I haven't been this excited about a pop-rock group since Ben Kweller. fun. is currently on their North American tour, which includes Atlanta, GA, but alas, no central Florida. Let's hope that changes.
