Congratulations to Arcade Fire, who brought home the Album of the Year award for “The Suburbs” at last night’s Grammy Awards. They beat out favorites Eminem and Lady Antebellum to win the biggest prize in mainstream music. Arcade Fire is signed to Merge Records, an independent record label that is the topic of Our Noise, The Story of Merge Records. To celebrate, we’re giving away 3 copies of Our Noise. Leave a comment (here on the blog or on our Facebook page) to enter.
If you aren’t familiar with The Suburbs, I highly recommend buying yourself a copy. (You can get it here, directly from the Merge store.)
Watch them perform “Ready to Start” (which was nominated for the best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals) at the Grammy Awards below.

Great to see a Merge band win best album. Checked this book out from the library a while back but would love to own a copy (My picture is in it).

Yes! Finally, a band and label that deserve this distinct award… I wish they’d had more airtime during the Grammys to play (rather than during closing credits). Congratulations to Arcade Fire and Merge Records!!
