Oh, Hush! is a US band. But a mysterious US band ! At the moment, no one really knows who they are, except themselves.
Influenced by Butch Walker, Timbaland, and bands like Cobra Starship, The Academy Is..., Maroon 5, Motion City, OKGO... and described as Rock/Pop/Disco House, their music is pretty cool.
I discovered them last year, when my best friend told me about the “rumor of the secret FBR band”. It was kind of a buzz at the time, and even if we still don’t know who they are, I love them more and more everyday !
When asked why they don't want to be known, they answered that this band was all for the music and all for the fans. They don't want to be listened to because of what they look like, but for their music and only this.
They released their debut album 6 months ago : The Yellow Album !
This album is just 234 different kind of wonderful. Seriously.
Some songs like “Going Down in Style”, “Can’t Say Goodbye” or “My Neighbour Thinks I’m Famous” are just made for dancing. My favorite is “Slow Motion (Don’t Stop)”, the refrain is absolutely fantastic.
The album has also got two beautiful love songs : “Picture Imperfect” (what? I’m so not crying over this one ! lol) and “A Chance in Heaven”, and another love song, “I’m in Love With You (And You)”, whose lyrics are pretty interesting.
And I couldn’t write a review without talking of “Why Does Everybody Love A Love Song”, because the sexy!voice on this one is just… too sexy ! *sights*
You can find the Yellow Album on this site :
http://www.ohhush.bigcartel.com/ (for 10$, it’s pretty cheap, I totally recommend it to you ^^) (and for 20$, they sell the Yellow Album with the Christmas covers, the Yellow Album b-sides and their digital cover album)
(and 1$ for every album they sell goes to the Make A Wish foundation which supports children with serious illness)
Here is a link to their myspace so you can check them out :

I think music is amazing! It's my lifeblood! It's the thing that gets me out of bed before noon every day! Music is what gives me a purpose in life! It's the way I communicate with the world! It's the thing that makes me happier than anything in the world!! Music makes my hips shake and my lips sing and my fingers flash the devil horns!! If there were no music, I'm not sure what I'd actually be doing with my life!!!
