passion pit乐队，由五个学究男误打误撞组成的一支乐队。Michael angelakos，Ian Hultquisy，Anad ladhamy，Jeff Apruzzese，Nate Donmoyer,从照片上就可以看出这五人不是靠姿色出来混的。身材有点走样，头发有点凌乱，镜片有点厚实，多亏了他们的音乐跟他们的笑容一样，“略带神经质的快乐至上”，成为一支乐观主义的“摇滚”乐队。
乐队简介
乐队名字是主唱Michael Angelakos的突发奇想。 在取这个名字之前，他并不知道上世纪80年代有一部同名色情电影《Passion Pit》。

《Chunk Of Change》是乐队的首张EP。
Release Date（发行日期）: 2008.09.16

据说passion pit的一夜成名，是建立在网络的高效率传递信息基础上的：michael在四个兄弟的合作下写给女友的作为情人节礼物的歌，一传十十传百，先是在校园FTP上下载量节节攀升，最后引得哈佛，MIT周边名校的人也闻风而至，为他们捧场。之后，那几首写给女友的歌便收录在《Chunk Of Change》里。
Passion Pit组合发行的EP“Chunk Of Change”是人民群众喜闻乐见的音乐。充满了阳光向上之情，表达了人民生活美满的喜悦之情，没有牛奶没有股票。MV做得很不错，音乐更不用说了。
这张EP发行后好评如潮，甚至乐队被称为是下一个
MGMT 。

Abstract:
Review by Amelia Raitt:
Review By Ethan Stanislawski:
Passion Pit's first EP, a flawed yet charming little electronica ditty, seems too personal and inside-joke laden to get a fair critical take. Chunk of Change was Michael Angelakos' belated Valentine's Day gift for his girlfriend, but it was made public by Frenchkiss, the dudes who brought us Les Savy Fav and the Hold Steady. Chunk of Change almost certainly works better as a mixtape for Angelakos' sweetheart than for a larger audience, but there's still plenty of intrigue and promise to be found mixed in among the more-than-occasional annoyance.
Despite Chunk of Change's flaws, Angelakos shows real promise as an innovative electronic-song weaver. Promise is, of course, what EPs are supposed to show, not immediate brilliance. Even still, Passion Pit's style feels dated by a few years. Angelakos certainly has the tools to carve his niche, but he may have to whittle his niche a little differently in the longer term.
