Stepdad put out one of summer's best LP's

I came across Stepdad because of the director of their video "Must Land Running."  I honestly knew nothing about Stepdad prior to that and I was missing out.  If you like synthy alternative like Passion Pit, then you'll be digging on some Stepdad. This Chicago based band is worth a listen and a purchase to your collection.  Wildlife Pop LP came out in June and really put Stepdad on the map.  It's a complete album with enough tracks that standout to make it one of my favorite summer LPs in 2012.

"Must Land Running" was the song that introduced me to the band and what a great introduction.  This song just has the hooks and chorus to really grip you from the first listen. Doesn't take much to like this song and the video is great too.

"Will I Ever Dance Again" was from my knowledge, the first single Stepdad released from their Wildlife Pop LP.  Or maybe the first video they put out?  Either way, this is another memorable song with a nice dance pop backbone that had me wanting this LP.

If you're still not a believer, listen to "Jungles" from the same LP.  Another nicely layered song with a catchy chorus.  I think that's key to a good synth alternative song, a catchy chorus. Listen and learn kids. Don't try to complicate things, just give me a good beat with a decent chorus.  I need something to pretend to know the lyrics to in my car.
