Royal Bangs are a indie rock band from Knoxville, Tennessee. They released their debut We Breed Champions in 2008 and their new latest release, Let it Beep came out in September of 2009.
Formed in 2005, the band is made up of Henry Gibson (bass guitar), Chris Rusk (drums), Ryan Schaefer (keyboard, vocals, beats), Brandon Biondo (guitar), and Sam Stratton (guitar).
Their sound is quite interesting, offering a mix of classic indie guitars with a bit more contemporary electro tweaks and a sense of grunge. Together, these guys represent a sound that could only be described as 21st century garage rock - the enthusiasm, energy, and rough sound - then mixed with digital elements like electronic drum kits, sampling, and personal computers.
Check out their track "My Car is Haunted." I really like it.

Gah - with pounding drums, an infectious guitar riff, crunchy bass lines, and raw energy, what more could you want or need? Just hit repeat, and it will make your day THAT much better. I promise.
Honorable Mention:
"Be Your Man" by De Novo Dahl
