All-Music Monday: Fitz & The Tantrums - Pickin Up The Pieces

All-Music Mondays Are In Full Effect!

Tonight, we are pulling out a great CD for you from Fitz & the Tantrums, an indie pop soul group from California that have certainly been making a mark on the music industry of late.  Coupling a sassy attitude, big voices and retro soul influences, Fitz & The Tantrums are one of the freshest sounds on the music scene today.

Pickin' Up The Pieces was released in August 2010, and reached #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.. Rolling Stone called them "The band to watch" in April 2011.  Self-described as "soul-influenced indie pop", their musical style is unlike anything you'll hear today on the radio.  

Also included on this broadcast, as well as our regular NPR news break, is a bonus track, offered FREE from Fitz & The Tantrums's website!  Stick around until the very end to hear that one.  

We love this record, and think you will too.  Please support the artist by buying their music directly from them, if possible.  Enjoy!
