one of the best bands to arise out of portland oregon is blitzen trapper. i didn't get into them until last year, but they've been releasing great albums since 2003, and their most recent album, destroyer of the void, is no exception. while they give off a country vibe, it's rockin' tunes with deep, heartfelt lyrics that everyone can enjoy.
my favorite song, off their 2009 album is black river killer; a song about a man with a "lost soul" who pretty much likes to kill people. and while it seems like a song about a maniac, it's a deeper look into the soul of someone who has committed serious crimes. it's a unique take on a murderer's personal inner struggle; not to mention it's so catchy you'll find yourself humming it time and time again.
some other songs to check out are dragon's song and the tree.
