Long Way Down - Haste the Day
Band: Haste the Day
Home Town: Carmel, IN
Why is it on here?: They key to a good cover is to retain the original sound of the song while adding a little of your own sound- that's why this version of the Goo Goo Dolls' (who I hate by the way) classic is quite good. Happy Memorial Day.

Title and Registration - Death Cab for Cutie
Band: Death Cab for Cutie
Album: Transantlanticism
Released: October 7, 2003
Home Town: Bellingham, WA
Why is it on here?: These guys were one of the first instances that I remember of a band with an indie sound going mainstream. Does that mean they are not indie anymore? Is indie a sound? Does indie only describe bands on indie labels? Does anyone else get annoyed with the little boy keeps calling Indiana Jones, Indy? Who cares really, the song is good and one of my favorite by the band. The video reminds me of that board game Operation...zzzzap.
