Fall Out Boy vocalist Patrick Stump: “The CSS record is fucking awesome! Seven hot Brazilian chicks singing hilarious dance music.”
- No Doubt drummer Adrian Young: “I’m really liking Muse. Talk about a three-piece that’s making a lot of noise. Those guys are phenomenal, and the songs are really great.”
- TV On the Radio singer/guitarist Kyp Malone: “Miles Robinson and the Black Boys. It’s not on a label and it’s not out yet. His influences are coming from Crazy Horse or Springsteen or Dylan. He’s got one of the more refreshing voices that I’ve heard in a long time, and some of the best writing.”
- Cobra Starship: “We listen to Ratatat before we go on stage,” singer Gabe Saporta tells us. “When you play Ratatat, no one says ‘oh, play something else,’” gutarist Ryland Blackington explained. “It brings all of us together; it’s really good preparation music, really good before you play or before you go out to meet a nice … someone.”
- The Academy Is guitarist Mike Carden: “I have been listening to the new Wilco record, and I have been watching ‘Snakes on a Plane’ every day because that song is still my favorite song.”
