Even if their name didn't hook you, there are so many reasons to love the band Fun. Their debut single, "We Are Young," featured NYLON It Girl Janelle Monae, and later got covered (shockingly well, to be honest) by the cast of Glee.
Fun starts their tour on February 9th in Vermont, which means you can plan a snowboarding trek and a concert in the same weekend stretch. Their new album, Some Nights hits stores on February 21. And one of their members - Jack Antonoff - is the brother of our contributing writer / designer, Rachel. (See her interviewing Hayley Williams on NYLON TV!)
Now we've got a free song from Fun - but you can only download it until midnight EST tonight. Get clicking! --FARAN KRENTCIL
I feel like this would be way better acoustic, it seems way overproduced.. :/

I agree an acoustic version would sound great. (The bridge at like 2:20 sounds a lot like The Gambler)

I'm terribly disappointed Fun. was touched (and ruined) by those pesky Glee kids. Their music is still delightful.

Fun. is my absolute favorite band. I cannot wait for their new album! I'm so excited to have this new song to tide me over. Check out their album "Aim and Ignite" if you haven't yet--I guarantee it will be on repeat for months! (Then see them live...it's incredible.)

Fun. is such an amazing band. They sound even better live too! Aim and Ignite is one of my favorite CDs of all time and I am so so so excited for their new CD to come out, and to see them on their spring tour! :)

I've always been curious whats the deal with his dad? The song by the format On Your Porch talks about it a lot.

I love fun. I've loved everything they've done. But this song. I don't even know what it is. It just doesn't even feel like a song. It's not a good song. And I think they can do so much more. I don't really understand where such a thing like that comes from.
Please, guys, you have talent. Don't waste it.

Oh lawwddd! their stage presence is intensifying and their music gets you in a great mood. Such a great band. Andrew, Nate, and Jack are talented and such sweethearts. I make sure to give them flowers when I go to a show.

it is definitely a new sound for fun. but i love it. they are trying new things and sure some people will hate it, but others will love it. we already have aim and ignite and we cant expect the same things every album..that would just be boring. even if it is overproduced fun. can perform this amazing live and thats all that matters. lyrics are amazing and the ballad part is incredible. same fun with different style.

Fun. definitely has a new sound, but that's what they were going and I, personally, love it. They still sound like themselves (how can they not with Nate's unique voice) but they have a newer fresher quality to them. Plus he has the chops to sing it beautifully live so why not play with tone and echo in the studio while they can? Absolutley love it and I know the CD will be a masterpiece.
