In class we listened to some bands that sounded a lot like The Beatles such as Of Montreal with Gronlandic Edit which brings me to a band that can sound almost exactly like The Beatles but is also more than capable of producing their own unique sound, this band called The Draytones first caught my ears with a song  that sounded very much like The Beatles that led me to check what Beatles song it was only to find it was by a completely different band.  My only concern is that they sound so much alike that it leads one to think they might just making their music a carbon copy of theirs (yes there is a difference between being influenced by a band and copying their sound). The way I found this problem to be countered was when looked further into their music and found that they were capable of  creating their own sound and an Argentine-latin influence can be heard in these songs (as the guitarist is from Argentina).

First one I heard

This is where they sounded almost too much like them, (vocals, background harmonies, guitars)

A few slightly more "original" sounds:


Of Montreal- Gronlandic Edit (heads up: super trippy video)
