"Rockstar" by The Fags

The Fags was an indie rock band from Michigan who released one of the best records of 2006. In an effort to clarify their questionable band name, they titled this record "Light 'Em Up" so people realize they were named after cigarettes. Nevertheless, it must have been hard to get airplay and gigs with a name like that.

None of this changes the fact that this is a brilliant rock record. The melodies are tight, lyrics are smart, and the singer sounds like a young Rod Stewart. I can't find a video or Spotify embed for my favorite song, "Here's Looking At You," but "Rockstar" is another winner. Also check out "Truly, Truly" and "Mistake." Seek this one out - it is truly worth your effort.
