I found it interesitng because the article talks about, of one of my favourite music style Hip-Hop. I think this kind of music can make you happy easily, and also entertain yourself when you are bored.

A Hip-Hop Performance Only a Band Can Deliver

The article talks about "Hip-Hop" Music. Especially about an on stage presetation of a group called the "Roots"(the long-running Philadelphia hip-hop band). It says that they can play a variaty of styles as "Hip- Hop", "Swing" and "Reggae". In they presetation they demostrated all the skills they have playing alive. In their Lyrics they confront, broad political questions from global warming, to financial crisis. Travis McCoy is the lead vocalist, he raps and sings all the time. The Band was inspired by the Beatles.

Nowaydays a new music style has been created the "pop- punk". Some of the bands following this style are "Fall out the boys" and "Brigth Eyes".
