Capital Cities, Atlas Genius, Robert Delong, and Youngblood Hawke. It's all about Dr. Garbanzouring out which band is on a major label and will be pushed on the radio hard. Youngblood Hawke is on Republic which is a massive record label so they're definitely a good pick. It took a bit of digging because they're trying to hide it but Capitol Cities is signed to Capitol Records (this is their copyright: "Lazy Hooks, LLC under exclusive license to Capitol Records. "). Robert Delong is on Glassnote which is a record label that is great at getting their artists radio play but they tend to do it in a semi-grassroots way compared to the brute force that major labels use. They may end up having the staying power but I don't expect them to rule the airwaves by May. But of course Atlas Genius is the obvious answer. Their debut comes out in like 2 weeks on Warner Bros. So after doing this why do I get the feeling that Pea has already done this research and I'm over explaining his point? Nice cbats/Pea. This is definitely a great breakdown. All of those bands are picking up steam...quickly! That Capital Cities song is the new Foster the People, and I hate it. I do, however, really enjoy Youngbloode Hawke's "We Come Running". It's too catchy for it's own good, similar to Fun.'s "We Are Young". I don't care how many times I hear that song I still love it. EDIT: That Atlas Genius song also kick ass. My bad, although, Atlas Sound is good as well.

Hah. I think the Capital Cities song is fun enough. Like someone else already said though, Pumped Up Kicks was pretty fun at first, too. Also, careful when confusing Atlas Sound with Atlas Genius

My heart raced a little my first time through the lineup because I thought it said Atlas Sound, whom I would much prefer.

The ability to buy 5 days worth of booze for less than $100 is too tempting for most of us. The music is just a bonus. I seem to recall the 24 oz beers being about $10 each. More like $100 a day. You buy beer in the festival? It's pretty damn easy to get more than enough liquor in to the fest each day. Buying drinks inside is a fools game.

Yeah I never fucking buy booze in there. Food/water out of desperation before re-entry, and the occasional band shirt, but never alcohol, that's completely ridiculous.

I allow myself one festival-bought beer a day. They're just so damn refreshing during the hottest part of the day that the price doesn't even phase me.

I usually end up buying one or two per fest when I really want a cold beer, but no matter how little I care about the money I just die a bit inside when I pay roughly 10x as much for beer vs. the beer I have back at camp.

I completely agree with Pea. There's nothing better than drinking that cold fresh beer when it's hot as shit, and you're not fucking walking back to camp for now. I used those big PBR's to drink half down then refill it up with my liquor I already came in with. Transformer Alcoholic in disguise.

You pour liquor into your half full beer? That sounds...gross. Unless your liquor is root beer shnappes.

Root Beer shnappes eh? No, I just Russian it up with some vodka.

That sounds like the worst thing ever. Why would you waste $5 of beer by putting vodka in it?
Pro tip, vodka, water and Crystal Light (or some other powdered drink).

I am but a young jedi Davers, teach me the ways of your pro-status. I understand the crystal light is flavored, but doesn't the vodka get watered down and give your shit a funky fresh taste?

Mixes clear bitches.

I don't know what funky fresh taste means, but you literally just mix the three things that I said. Give it a shot with made up amounts. Want it sweeter? Add more drink mix. Stronger? More Vodka.
It's all trial and error, you'll figure it out.

Please don't promote this shit on here. First of all there are much cheaper ways of sneaking in booze than buying a $5 bottle cap, and second people need figure this shit out for themselves. The more you post your secrets online, the more likely you will be found out when entering the festival.
