‘Vampire Diaries’ Captures Us With Great Music By Sounds Under Radio and More

Source MTV

We’re obsessed with “The Vampire Diaries” for a lot of different reasons. We love the plot, the characters, the witty little quips sprinkled throughout each episode and of course all the drama. It wasn’t until the last episode though, that we realized we loved it for the music too!

You see, last week’s episode, “Let the Right One In” featured some pretty awesome songs that we hadn’t heard before. One of our favorites was the track “All You Wanted,” by the indie band Sounds Under Radio, which played when the characters learned some tragic news about a missing friend.

Sounds Under Radio lead singer Lang Freeman knew the track would be perfect for the emotional wrap up to the episode.

“Somehow it just seemed to fit with what was going on in the show,” he told MTV News in an interview. Lang said the song was meant to capture the idea of the head versus the heart and we really can’t think of a better way to describe the struggle some of our fave characters including Stephan (Paul Wesley), Elana (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) went through in the last episode.

Of course, the band has had some experience with this kind of stuff. They’ve had their music featured on the “Spider-Man 3″ soundtrack, and also did some composition for “The Wolfman.”

“We somehow stick to superheroes and sort off fantasy characters,” said Lang, before sneaking in that he loves vampires.

Now, before you start playing “All You Wanted” on repeat (which you probably will after you download it from iTunes), take a listen to a few other songs we loved from the last ep, including the Sam Sparro remix of “Young Lovers” by Love Grenades (totally infectious) and “I Was Wrong” by the Morning Benders. Now GO! Good music awaits you!
