When I decided to do this whole Countdown to Coachella thing, I didn’t know which bands I would be posting first. I wanted to post music that you guys may not know, since most of the people I know are into the Drakes and Kanye Wests of the music world, but also music that I absolutely love. Therefore, today’s Coachella post is all about Cage The Elephant. Ever since I first heard “Back Against The Wall,” I’ve been a huge fan and I’ve had “Tiny Little Robots” as the Song in my Head (Ha! I finally used our name on a post).

Cage the Elephant is a modern rock band without any of that grunginess most bands try to incorporate into their music. As it stands for most rock bands, your music either originates from the UK or your growing popularity started there and Cage The Elephant has a big fan base overseas. Their newest album; Thank You, Happy Birthday; was released on January 11 and they promised to “launch the new year with a ferocious kick of (gut)nut-grabbing rock & roll.”

Check out a few of my favorite tracks below and their latest single, “Shake Me Down.”
