Passion Pit - 'Manners' The Rise to Fame


Should I, or Shouldn't I..... I don't like to exploit the fact that an album has leaked but this is an exception because as most blogger's will agree, this is one of the most anticipated releases of 2009, and I figured if i don't someone else will! Along with this I've also concluded that in the coming months 'Manners' its going to cause massive hype everywhere, and its already started...

There is zillions of blog posts everywhere about 'Passion Pits' rise to fame, and its a great story after all! Michael Angelakos making 'Chunk of Change' as a Valentines day gift for his GF before someone realised how good it actually was... A year on, 4 more members and we have 'Manners'...

Right now while blogger's are influencing other blogger's with free samples all of a sudden there is a big support base even before the ACTUAL release date of 18Th May (UK) and 19Th May (US) comes upon us. From this date the Independent music scene will 'big up' these Massachusetts lads from the word go, and with good right! For the next 3 months is where the 'music' hits its peak.. Because this album has far to many catchy pop riffs to avoid the evil that is 'Commercial Radio'. We saw it in 2008 with MGMT rise to fame from a little know electro act in March to one of the most sort after Acts getting around by September.

Passion Pit are heading down a similar path, and its not a bad thing, its just the cycle that popular music takes... So for the next 3 months enjoy the album, because it is really good.
Because before we know it we will hear it everywhere we go. Radio, Pubs, discos, Television, Sisters Ipod's, hens nights and the list goes on. Sleepyhead will be the first to go, take your pick after that...

'Manners' is due out May 18Th and can be pre-ordered HERE.
