Anyone know who the band is in the new Target commercial? The best way to describe the commercial would be that it has nothing to actually do with anything sold at Target. Just the song, a couple wierd pictures and then a website. I checked the website and couldn’t find anything. Anyone know? ---

Can you provide more details about the commercial? What did the weird pictures show? What kind of music was it? What was being advertised, what was the website, etc.? ---

Did the song have lyrics? Any you can remember? There was a recent one with the song “Say Something New” by the Concretes. Not sure if I’ve seen the newest ad yet. ---

If you go [here](http://target.com/target_group/stores_services/channel_red.jhtml), you can watch various Target commercials. I don’t think the site will tell you what band is playing, but if you can identify the commercial you’re thinking of, maybe other people can watch it, and see if they recognize the music. ---

I want to know who the marching band is in the K-mart commercials. The song they play is one that was palyed in Drum Line but I am sure it is a popular marching band song. ---

I think it was just a bunch of pictures that flash on a black background. It ends up sending you to [oddsagainstseven.com](http://oddsagainstseven.com). Other than that I don’t remember anything specific about it. ---

Not sure if I’ve seen the newest ad yet. That wasn’t the song and I can’t remember any lyrics. ---

Did you see the [credits page](http://www.oddsagainst7even.com/site/en/spot/page.jsp?title=oa7_credits) from that website? Maybe it’s one of the songs/bands listed on that?
