Piebald - If It Weren't For Venetian Blinds, It'd Be Curtains For Us All

This is one of those bands whose name I had heard from a friend once, and that was it. It was definitely recommended to me, but I was never told what kind of music it was, and had no idea what to expect. I found this album at a book exchange for $2.00 so I said, "Why not?" and bought it, only to find out that it'd become one of my favorite albums. This band is just fun, and I love that about them. The first thing you hear is "Grace Kelly With Wings" and it's absolutely amazing. Caught me off guard and couldn't stop listening to it until I sort of overplayed it. Then I went ahead and gave the rest of the album a closer listen and found out that the rest is great, too! Hopefully you'll listen to it too, and like it, after this equally-to-mine vague recommendation.

"That's more than a dress. It's a Grace Kelly movie."

I actually watched every movie Grace Kelly starred in because of that song, to find out what a Grace Kelly movie is, and I still don't really know, haha. Those movies are good, by the way.
