OK Go

Add Date: June 21 

Artist: OK Go 

Album: 180/365 

Label: Paracadute 

Genre: Alternative, indie rock 

Comments: It's been almost five years since the infamous "Here It Goes Again" music video debuted on YouTube, showcasing OK Go's aptitude in multitasking with treadmills and officially placing the Chicago alt-rock band on the map. Since then, the band has released three infectious albums of head-bobbing songs and earned the title of internet superstars for their creative, low-budget music videos (go check out their ode to Rube Goldberg with "This Too Shall Pass").

So it seems logical that the next step in their trailblazing success is 180/365, a live album that spans across the United States during their fall 2010 tour. Packed in a unique and eco-friendly Tronpak (you have to see it to understand), 180/365 represents the completion of the band's high profile liberation from its major label contract last year. For a passionate, ever-growing fanbase that obsesses over the band's every dance move, recording and live performance, the album is a must-have testament to the endless possibilities of the blue skies ahead.

Tracks 3, 5, 6, 9 and 13 prove just as entertaining as their studio-recorded versions.
