The new college rockers
Back in the ‘80s, in those dark days before the Internet, “college rock” referred to bands that got played on college radio—R.E.M., the Pixies, the Replacements and their scruffy brethren. But these days, bands like Vampire Weekend are at the forefront of a new kind of college rock—the kind made up of actual college kids, whose careers take off before they’ve barely had a chance to graduate. Here are 15 of the hottest bands in America that got their start playing student unions and frat parties. — Andy Hermann, Metromix
