Bellaparker

Bellaparker played SXSW this year, but I hadn't heard about them, so I didn't see them. I got this song, The Things We Say, in my inbox and checked and rather like it...enough to do some more searching. They are an Austin, TX three-piece with obvious comparisons to U2 and Coldplay - Who you may hate on publicly, but you know each have more than a couple songs that you like. I mean, if you ask me, the early stuff from each is undeniably good...maybe they've each gone corporate, but I can forgive them - you should too. Bono's got mouths to feed.

Bellaparker are on Silent Uproar Records and here is their MySpace.
