Fun.

Fun (officially stylized as fun.) is an American indie pop band and supergroup based in New York City that was formed by Nate Ruess, formerly of The Format. After the 2008 breakup of The Format, Ruess formed Fun with Andrew Dost and Jack Antonoff of Anathallo and Steel Train respectively. Fun has released two albums: their debut Aim and Ignite in 2009 and their latest Some Nights in February 2012.

The band is best known for their hit singles "We Are Young" featuring Janelle Monáe, and "Some Nights". "We Are Young" reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Digital Songs charts. It peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, as well. "Some Nights" was released as the album's second single in May 2012, peaking at number 3 on the Hot 100 chart so far, and becoming their second Top 10 single, as well as their second song to reach platinum status in the USA.

This band has been seen as similar to Queen and other electropop rock bands of the 1970s.

Yes I am, but honestly I don't listen to much american music more of a latin type of listener. :p Don't judge me.

Latin music is awesome.
I was just kidding, by the way.
I guess Fun. is still sort of... "underground," for lack of a better term.
I just thought everyone had heard "We Are Young" by now. xD

sorry I take things serious, o I thought you were going to cut my head off or something, glad that i't the case. ^^"
Well no not everyone hears cerain things/bands sometimes. I'm up for new experiences and new music to listen to as long as it has a story behind the song, like the latin music I like songs with meaning, I think that's why I listen to Japanese rock/visual Kei.
