SC6 Music Pick: The Black Keys 'Tighten Up' ...

Giving Akron Something To Be Proud Of, Post LeBron....

Today, we focus our attention, and close out our day with today's music pick - The Black Keys. In the rubble following LeBron James' leaving his hometown for sunny Miami, this band may be they only thing left for Akron. Like most bands, they've been plugging along the indie circuit for the entire 2000's, and they finally hit it pretty good with this year's release, Brothers.

Their sound is often described as blues-based, but this song, called 'Tighten Up', reminds us of the 70's cop show soundtracks. The video is pretty good as well - no matter what age they are, the boys will ALWAYS let the girls come between them. We'll see you again on Sunday!
