To say I love acappella is an understatement, acappella is the best thing to happen since caned peaches. I love it because its such a unique sound. To sit there as one of your favorite songs is being sung completely with voices and go, "How they heck do they do that!?" What I simply love about acappella is its something that you don't need instruments for, but is incredibly hard to pull together. Trust me on this one, durning Operation Barnabas me and a few of my buddies pulled together to sing the Lion Sleeps Tonight acappella. I'm not going to lie, we didn't do so hot, but it was fun to be a part of it and we did things to make people laugh. I loved it cause I finally got a chance to beat box. What is truly amazing is that acappella is completely internet based, its really the only place to hear it other than a concert. So for those of you just starting acappella here is my top 5 accapella bands.
5. Mike Tompkins
Mike Tompkins, a one man band, is completely youtube based but a rising hit. No list is complete without him really. Mike is really a forerunner for acappella, He does a wide array of music, but truthfully he is the only one I know to take on dubstep songs. You will probably never hear him in concert but he is one of the best.
4. Juxtaposition
Juxtaposition is one of my fav's because they have a large sound, and I usually don't care for acappella bands this large, but they seem to pull it off quite well.
3. Vocal Point
You really have no idea what song these guys will take on next, from music from popular video games to billboard hits, and they just can't help but make you smile. They understand that music isn't only sound, is the act you put with it. I defiantly suggest you look these people up on youtube you won't regret it.
2. Cloud 9
once again these people know how to put on an act. They are truly fun to watch. You listen to there music and its blows you away. The do a great job of combining sounds that blend together. I really don't know why i like them I just do! So go listen to their music, maybe you'll find out.
1. Pentatonix
These guys where the first acappella group I heard, the winners of the Season 3 Sing Off which is surprising since they pulled together just a few hours before the audition. These guys are small but carry a big sound. When I mention acappella the people who listen to acappella will mention Penatonix. About everyone that loves acappella loves pentatonix, they are band that I always come back to. They are the current hit when it comes to acappella. I truly can't tress how amazing this band is.When acappella makes it on the radio this band will be the first.
This list is mine alone and what I feel are the best bands. I just hope that when you heard these few videos you are caught wanting more.
