Whitest Boy Alive

For all the hoo-ha around Berlin being this uber-hip (hyped?) city, I can't name a single decent band from there. Until now... 

Whitest Boy Alive delivers the goods for Europe's new capital of cool. They come across as a white boy's funk band (wow... bad pun...) with a healthy dose of pop. And it's no wonder as the band includes half of Swirl favorite Kings of Convenience. 

Figures and 1517 are real stand-outs on their Myspace page.
