Bishop Allen is a fun little band I recently discovered. I caught them when they were at the Hi Tone. I was actually there to see a different band but was immediately won over with their pop-ish folk music and their infectous party attitude. It felt like if my friend and I decided to jump onstage, grab an instrument and start playing, the band would have moved over to make room for us. If you head over to their website you can grab some songs from their recent "EP a Month" project. I particuarly like July's "Click Click Click Click". (And not just cause it's my birthday month.)
