For anyone who has ever driven through Ohio, it’s not an uncommon sentiment to believe that the state is filled with absolutely nothing. Despite its lack of geographic beauty, Ohio has given us something for which we should be eternally grateful: Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. Together, the two Akronians? Akronites? Brothers of Akron? I looked it up, it is indeed Akronites. Together, the two Akronites make up the Black Keys, who exploded into the mainstream last year with their brilliant album, Brothers. The follow-up, El Camino, drops next week (December 6th), and the more I hear from this record, the more excited I become. Recently, the band released five new tracks from the album, which you can check out on their website for the simple exchange of an email address.
So head to their website to hear the new tracks now, and pick up El Camino on December 6th!
