Song: Charles in Charge
Artist: Jimmy Fallon
Album: Blow Your Pants Off
When I first saw Jimmy Fallon's Neil Young impression, performing an American Idol reject's self-penned "Pants on the Ground," I almost fell off my chair. The impression was SO good you just couldn't help but freak out over the ridiculousness of the material. And when he got Bruce Springsteen himself to duet on a cover of Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair," I just thought it was the best thing ever.
Jimmy Fallon's new record "Blow Your Pants Off," is basically a collection of these moments from his show, including "Whip My Hair" as well his "Slow Jam the News" with Brian Williams, and a cover of "Friday" with Stephen Colbert.
I hadn't seen these bits on the show, but the two tracks that have been really cracking me up are The Doors doing "Reading Rainbow," and Bob Dylan singing the theme song to "Charles in Charge." Fallon sounds so much like the original artists that you could put them on for people that don't know and they might not even realize. Hysterical.
Song: I Love It
Artist: Icona Pop
Album: I Love It
So I think we have our first contender for song of the Summer.
Swedish duo Icona Pop deliver a bratty, rave-up single that sort of sounds like Robyn trying to write her own "Tik Tok." Which makes half-sense as it was produced by Patrik Berger of "Dancing on My Own" fame. The track was also written by Charli XCX. Heaven.
Icona Pop's debut record is coming later this Fall, but expect to hear this one a LOT this Summer. It's on constant repeat.
Number one Robyn fan and reader Luis tuned me into this one. Thank you Luis! Summer is ON.
Song: She Gets Down on Her Knees (Dave Aude Club Mix)
Artist: (Yoko) Ono
Album: She Gets Down on Her Knees
Casual music fans and those not particularly following dance music closely might not know that for over a decade, Yoko Ono has been releasing commissioned remixes of older songs that have done very very well on the dance charts. In 2007 she released a compilation of these remixes by the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Basement Jaxx, Felix Da Housecat, Bimbo Jones, and Peter Rauhofer entitled "Open Your Box."
I haven't really followed all of these dance singles save for "Walking on Thin Ice" which is all kinds of amazing.
Recently she's released "She Gets Down on Her Knees," a remix package of a 1974 song that wasn't released until 1981. My favorites are Rich Morel and Dave Aude's, the latter having a nice, bouncy, electro-house summery feeling.
Song: Satellites
Artist: Catcall
Album: The Warmest Place
I've been almost immediately charmed by the sunny, disco-ish, dance-rock-pop debut of Sydney, Australia's Catcall, born Catherine Kelleher. Getting her musical start in a DIY punk band, Catcall has been releasing indie-pop singles since 2010. It seems it has been a long journey to her debut, "The Warmest Place," but it's here... and worth your time.
"Satellites" is an older single and one that got her initial attention, but it's easy to see why. It's got a dreamy, yet driving feel to it. I get a very Empire of the Sun feel from her music, and a touch of Foster the People for some reason. Not to mention a bit of older Madonna, AND... there's been another artist that she's reminded me of that I couldn't put my finger on until now... Parallels! (though Catcall has a much lower register.)
Song: Naughty Naughty
Artist: John Parr
Album: John Parr
About a month ago I highlighted the song "Burning Feeling" by Lovelock, a song and record I've really been digging lately. I happened to be playing the song while having some people over and my friend Glen heard the opening synth gurgle and began pointing at the stereo. "That's from a John Parr song!" He yelped. I didn't know what the hell he was talking about.
Well I took another listen to the synth line and then heard what I hadn't before when listening to "Burning Feeling," that open did sound like something... that's the open to the new Madonna song "I'm Addicted!" Well I was sort of right, but it hit Glen after another moment... it was the opening to John Parr's "Naughty Naughty." What is this now?
While I didn't know him by name, John Parr, an English musician, is best known for his #1 hit "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" from 1985. Of course.
That song was commissioned by producer David Foster about the life of wheelchair activist Rick Hansen, and was included in the film of the same name, despite having nothing to due with Hansen. It became a huge hit, and Parr became a go-to soundtrack guy, recording the movie theme (remember when they did that, for everything?) for Quicksilver, Three Men and a Baby, The Running Man, and American Anthem.
The aforementioned "Naughty Naughty," with the recognizable synth line, was used in the cult horror film "Near Dark," as well as being the fist single off his debut, self-titled solo album from 1994. While I'd never hear "John Parr" before, it is SO almost over-the-top 80's, it seems like a parody. But it's not. It's real. With tracks entitled "Treat Me Like an Animal," "She's Gonna Love Ya to Death," and "Love Grammar..." you sort of get what I'm talking about. Big guitars, bigger choruses, and some keeping-it-'modern' electronics... it's really mind blowing just how 80's this record is.
"Naughty Naughty" is a fun nostalgia trip. And who knew it would ultimately be influential to 2012 electro.
Song: My Calculator
Artist: Zowie
Album: Love Demolition
Zowie was born Zoe Fleury in Auckland, New Zealand and first hit the scene under the moniker Bionic Pixie, before taking a re-spelling of her first name. She's toured with Peaches and The Kills and most recently opened for Mark Ronson and Katy Perry. Her debut album, "Love Demolition" was just released last month in NZ.
"Demolition" is a nicely consistant song-cycle of electro and power pop guitar, borrowing heavily from the 80's with a cute side. Sometimes downright goofy but with undeniable charm.
This is probably best evident in current single "My Calculator." Shades of Kraftwork? Are there any other calculator-themed songs? Ha.
Song: F**k With You
Artist: Bob Sinclar
Album: Disco Crash
This blog is in its sixth year, which blows my mind a little, but when I think of how it's changed... and where I've been with it, I still think about some of my absolute favorite posts, and one of them will always be my intro to "Love Generation" by Bob Sinclar. And wow... that was all the way back in February of 2007.
That track, and it's sound-alike follow up "World Hold On," were great tracks, but I can't say I've really followed or cared for anything Sinclar has done since... and for the most part didn't really connect with his latest, "Disco Crash" released early this year. He's already got about four singles he's released from the record, though I would call it fairly forgettable... BUT I've recently re-picked up the amazing "F**k With You" featuring the sublime vocals of the gorgeous Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
Something about pretty ladies with gorgeous voices cursing... it sort of changes the word somehow. It's a fun disco-fied electro-pop song with a regrettable "rap" in the middle. But it's Friday, it's sunny... go with it.
Song: How it Starts
Artist: The Features
Album: Wilderness
If you don't know this song from it's name and band, you should scroll down and immediately hit the play button on the audio clip. Because you're bound to hear it a bit, then the chorus will kick in, and you'll say... "oh wait... how do I know this song?" You will. You do.
Okay, it's another example of a killer hook from a song being used in... a car commercial. Until I looked it up, despite seeing that thing several times on the TV, I couldn't remember that it was for the 2012 Mustang. But come to think about it... what car was that being advertised that played Dirty Vegas' "Days Go By?" I can't remember. Can that be considered good marketing then?
Okay, so I only bother you with this because a) I shazam'd the commercial and it actually worked, b) got the song and it's entire accompanying album, and c) that album is really good. And the Features should get some recognition outside of a bloody Mustang commercial.
The Features are from Tennessee and "Wilderness" is their third full length album. They're not so big here (unless this ad is helping) but happen to be pretty popular in the UK. They have that retro groove-rock sound that The Walkman have with a touch of Franz Ferdinand wink, a little psychedelia organ, and a bit of the old country influence a-la Kings of Leon, whom they are associated with. (First band signed to their imprint Serpents and Snakes.)
"How it Starts" has Summer jam written all over it. Perfect for... well cruising in a car in the sunshine. (Mustang optional.) BUT give this band a chance, I'm digging this record and may work my way back through their past albums.
Song: Picking Up the Pieces
Artist: Paloma Faith
Album: Fall to Grace
I missed British-born singer-songwriter Paloma Faith's debut album, 2009's "Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?," which spawned five singles and established Faith as a rising star in her home country and through Europe. Missed all that. But, she's returned with a sophomore set entitled "Fall to Grace," which has given her her best charting single yet, first track "Picking Up the Pieces."
"Fall to Grace" is cinematic-leaning behemoth of sweeping strings, synths, piano, soulful vibes, and story-song lyrics. It's a little too dramatic, but it's not without its charms. I have quite warmed up to the single, as well as the second track, "30 Minute Love Affair." I'm still listening, and may l o v e it in months time.
Faith has been getting involved with some acting, evident in the video for the single. (see below) And again, "Fall to Grace" has a sweeping grandness that's born from the movies. It might be too much for you, or it could be a revelation. You decide.
Song: Shady
Artist: Adam Lambert
Album: Trespassing
I'm not feeling this new Adam Lambert album all that much, though I can't put my finger on exactly why as it seems to tick all the dance-pop boxes. But something is missing, which has been disappointing because of how much I honestly liked his debut.
It's not an embarrassment by any means, (though the second half of drippy ballads gets close) just lacks the humor and wit, as well as punch of his debut. There were more personality in "Music Again," the first track off that first record than can be found here in it's entirety. I like Adam, this just isn't doing it for me.
But please do check out "Shady," which features Nile Rodgers and Sam Sparro. This is a highlight.
Song: The Lone Ranger
Artist: Quantum Jump
Album: Quantum Jump
So this coming Saturday happens to be my birthday, and I'm getting to the age where I sort of can't believe I've gotten to be this old, and yet realize I'm young enough to have older friends that would hear that, roll their eyes, and give me a good natured, "Ummm.... shut the fuck up."
But this isn't about getting older... but as always, in between whatever current dance-pop hit I'm currently obsessed with, I like to reach back in time and share some stuff that life has placed into my life. I like to think that it means something, but admit it's probably a bit random. So here is a semi-meaningful completely random discovery I actually made late last year, but suddenly has some funny odd circumstances...
(Man the buildup is way too great for this silly song.)
Okay so the year I was born, the British band Quantum Jump released their self-titled debut album. The band was named after lead singer and keyboard player Rupert Hine had a convo with an ex-Cambridge student and friend whom told him about a recent discovery at the school about how electron energy increases and decreases which would later be called "quantum leap." He liked "Jump" better as it had "a more soul/funk music connotation." Okay.
In general, Quantum Jump's 70's progressive rock is NOT my bag... at all, but their most well known song, and mildly controversial, "The Lone Ranger" stood out when I randomly came across this record. As it was being recorded, a label rep said it had potential, but needed a better beginning... so Hine looked up the longest word in the Guinness Book of World Records, and hence that opening. (the word is Maori, the name of hill in Murray's Bay New Zealand.) Man, the 70's right?
So the song first gets released in my birth year but is pulled from the radio by the BBC because of concern for drug and get this... homosexual references. (The Lone Ranger in this song is possibly "a poofter" who has a crush on Tonto.) After this, guitarist Mark Warner leaves the band to join Cat Steven's on the road, and Hine and the rest of the Jump soldier on with an expensive and less popular second album, called "Barracuda," which rendered them penniless, so they split.
Two years later the band would reform unexpectedly and play Top of the Pop when "The Lone Ranger" became a surprise hit. They released a third record comprised of remixed versions of the best stuff from the first two records. It wasn't successful, and Quantum Jump would disband for good. Hine would later become a pretty successful producer for the likes of Tina Turner, Bob Geldof, Suzanne Vega, Rush, Stevie Nicks, the Thompson Twins, and the list goes on.
And all I've got is the start to the last half of my 30's.
As the title suggests, for Macy Gray's sixth album she's released a complete set of other peoples songs given the Macy treatment. It's a very strange collection that manages to further prove what an oddball Gray is, despite these being other peoples songs.
From the slowed down spacey drama of the Eurythmics' "Here Comes the Rain Again" and Radiohead's "Creep" to the what-the-what (?!?!) Sublime's "Smoke Two Joints" and Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters," "Covered" is one of the most off-the-wall collections of songs I've seen.
And to top it all off, there are about six between song skits, with the likes of J.B. Smooth ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") MC Lyte, and Nicole Scherzinger.
Macy Gray is reportedly bipolar.
Okay, take a listen to her take on the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's "Maps." What's with the odd tempo changes? And why can't I stop listening to this?
Song: Our Love
Artist: Donna Summer
Album: Bad Girls
Back in January I feel pretty hard for Gomma records four-track release "Casablanca Reworks," a selection of songs released by 70's disco titans, Casablanca Records re-done by four different bands on the label with vocals done by Peaches. I loved the concept, wished they'd done a whole album, and then started to listen to the originals as well...
Well, I had planned a full Casablanca Records week here at WeCastMusic, but honestly have been overwhelmed at the wealth of material the label had, and was swimming in (personally) undiscovered disco simply from the four-disc "The Casablanca Records Story." Crazy. How could I possibly sum up a label with five selected songs? Oh well.
While a full week may not happen right now, I have still been completely obsessed with not only the Telonius re-work but also the Donna Summer original "Our Love," a Summer track I'd never heard before. "Our Love" was from her seventh and most successful album, the double-set "Bad Girls," which contained not only that hit, but "Hot Stuff" as well. It was a hit, but following an addiction to pills, Summer moved to Geffen Records to expand the type of music she was producing. Casablanca released a greatest hits compilation which featured unreleased tracks, one of which, "On the Radio," would become one of her biggest songs. With the Geffen album coming soon, Casablanca then went back and continued to release tracks from "Bad Girls." "Our Love" would end up being the 5th of 6th singles released from the record.
Oddly, the song languishes a bit toward the end of the album, proceeded by four drippy ballads, only to explode into this beautiful, dramatic, Moroder space-disco. It's amazing.
On a side note, also check out "Lucky" below, another Moroder track that immediately follows "Our Love" on the album. It's an... odd one, with a writing credit from non-other than Joe "Bean" Esposito! Who is that you say? Well take a look at this.
Song: Call My Name
Artist: Cheryl (Cole)
Album: A Million Lights
At the risk of this blog becoming a Calvin Harris fan page, I am posting yet another Harris production, the new single by ex-Girls Aloud member (and first solo star) Cheryl Cole. The track is called "Call My Name" and it's a great Euro-pop dance track that probably doesn't have much hope getting play here in the States. (We'll have either the new Rhianna single to get our Calvin here, or his new collab with Ne-Yo.)
I know very little about Cheryl, but after loving the debut album by Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts, Cole comes across as a pretty girl without much personality. Oh well, the track is fun.
But good on Calvin, no doubt riding a huge wave after the mega-sucess of Rihanna's "We Found Love" getting a crack at Cole's comeback single. I like it.
Song: Out of the Game
Artist: Rufus Wainwright
Album: Out of the Game
I don't know what happened.
After loving Rufus's sophomore album "Poses," and backtracking to his great debut, then the one-two punch of the too long but often brilliant "Want I" and "Want II" double album, I lost complete interest in Rufus Wainwright. "Release the Stars" left me with something new, a Rufus album I didn't like one song, his last "All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu" I didn't even make it through the whole thing, unlistenable. And I'm not going to even mention the Judy Garland concert thing...
So I'm off the Rufus train, disregard my thoughts if you love every breathless moment... but things, despite the obvious effort, don't get much better on his latest album, the Mark Ronson produced "Out of the Game."
Okay, so I do like the breezy debut single and title track. It's refreshingly light from a man who seemingly has become a parody of every criticism he's ever been thrown, but that guy is back in full-force on the tune-less "Montauk." Oh well.
Musically "Out of the Game" is all over the place, throwing a bunch at the wall and seeing what sticks. It aims to be a pleaser but I hear nothing half as good as an "April Fools" or "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" not to mention an "Oh What a World" or "Gay Messiah."
Critics are mostly enjoying this record so I could be way off base. I'm just officially out of the Rufus game.
Here's a fine example of some good retro-future space aged disco from producer Steve Moore (Zombi, Gianna Rossi) who veers from horror soundtrack music to 80's electronic with an Italo disco bent. It sounds old, but new, timely and dated. Give it a listen.
A mostly instrumental affair, "Burning Feeling" takes you on a journey in the best sense, from the bubbling get-things-started title track that starts the record, to the more quiet, ambient moods of "South Beach Sunrise." The 8.5 minute "Don't Turn Away (From My Love)" is a standout, as well as the dirty night-out strut of "New Age Christ." Disco gold.
Song: Night and Day
Artist: Hot Chip
Album: In Our Heads
Hot Chip return this June with their fifth studio album, "In Our Heads," their first to be released on Domino Records. The band has once again self-produced the album, and released the official first single, "Night and Day" as part of Record Store Day.
The band first gave a listen to new material via an uploaded video to their YouTube channel of an in-studio listen to the just-shy of eight minute epic "Flutes" which you can watch below.
"Night and Day" is quite growing on me, and I'm rather excited about the new album. Hot Chip never disappoint.
Song: The Beat Goes On
Artist: Ripple
Album: The Beat Goes On
For this Friday I am giving you a little slice of classic disco heaven...
Michigan-based American funk band Ripple's 1978 single "The Beat Goes On," one of the band's last singles. Best known for their debut single "I Don't Know What it is, But it Sure is Funky" from 1973 (which you might know a bit from Kid 'N Play.) The band was signed to GRC Records and had a handful of US R&B hits in the mid-70's.
I was recently introduced to "The Beat Goes On" from my friend Robb, though I do think I'd heard it before. Though truth be told... how many songs use the phrase "The Beat Goes On?"
Actually, for a little Friday fun, why not leave a comment on this post of your favorite track that uses "The beat goes on."
Song: Life on Mars
Artist: Barbra Streisand
Album: ButterFly
So my friend Nick has started to collect vinyl over the last couple years, and recently a look through his growing collection stopped me in my tracks. Among the 80's R&B and funk was this goofy cover of a stick of butter with a fly on it, a Barbra Streisand album, "ButterFly." I'm not really a fan, or more accurately, kind of dislike all her music... but imagine the jolt I got looking at the album to see track seven as... "Life on Mars?" As in... no, no way.
Yup, Barbra Streisand covered David Bowie. It's kind of terrible but WTF... Streisand covered Bowie? Well, the record also contains Babs covering Bob Marley ("Guava Jelly" with some way dialed-down steel drum) Bill Withers, and Buck Owens. Odd odd odd.
"Life on Mars" is done pretty straight-forwardly and is pretty-ish, given the strength of the song. But man, what a head scratcher.
Apparently, in a 1992 interview with Larry King, Barbara (who just turned 70 this week) was quoted as saying that "ButterFly" was her least favorite of all her albums. And it's the only one I now own. Ha!
Song: Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)
Artist: Nelly Furtado
Album: The Spirit Indestructible
I've been a fan of Nelly Furtado since her debut, "Whoa Nelly" from 2000. Her subsequent English-language albums have included a mix of styles, and she hit true pay-dirt with 2006's "Loose," which took an urban direction and gave her a slew of hits including "Promiscuous Girl," and "Say it Right." She's since released a Spanish language album, but is set to return to pop with "The Spirit Indestructible," in June.
The first single from the new record is the Rodney Jerkins produced "Big Hoops (Bigger the Better,)" a deep-bass space-age hip hop track. I wasn't so sure about this one at first but it's really grown on me. She sounds a touch Rihanna on this, but has moments that are unmistakably Nelly. The hooks aren't immediate but creep up on you. I'm not sure about that breakdown... which uses a bit of drum and bass like it's 1997 again. Well, at least it's not Dubstep.
According to Furtado, the new record is most like her debut, so "Hoops" might be an urban misnomer. Yet she's working with the Neptunes, Timbaland, Ryan Tedder, and Tiesto. Guess we'll just have to wait until June.
Song: You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else
Artist: The Jones Girls
Album: The Jones Girls
Biggest hit from Detroit-based sister trio the Jones Girls, taken from their 1979 album of the same name. Brenda, Valerie, & Shirley Jones were backup singers for the likes of Teddy Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, Aretha Franklin, and Diana Ross. "You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else" went to #38 on the Billboard charts, breaking the top 40, and going top 5 on the R&B charts.
They had a series of lesser singles including "Nights Over Egypt," which has become a popular urban radio cult hit, getting more plays than their official biggest charter.
Shirley Jones would end up going solo, and had a #1 R&B hit with the track "Do You et Enough Love," from the top-ten debut "Always in the Mood."
I've only recently discovered "You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else," and love it's slow-burn vibe. Dig.
Song: Vienna
Artist: Billy Joel
Album: The Stranger
I certainly have always considered myself a Billy Joel fan, so when my friend Felice played me "Vienna," a soaring heartfelt piano-based ballad that was so obviously amazing from first listen I wondered... how had I not heard this already? Or more so, how is this not considered an all-out classic?
Well, it's because it is on his magnum opus, 1977's "The Stranger," his fifth and breakthrough album that included not one, but four top career hits and classic rock station staples "Only the Good Die Young," "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)," "Just the Way You Are," and "She's Always a Woman." Not to mention the title track and the epic, seven-plus minute "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant." How could a track like "Vienna" survive, despite its amazingness, surrounded by all of this mind-blowing singer-songwriting examples?
Well, anyone who owns "The Stranger," should know the beauty of "Vienna," but those who have managed to get by with Mr. Joel's ample singles and greatest hits compilations as I have, here's a little gem you might have missed.
Song: Let's Go
Artist: Calvin Harris feat. Ne-Yo
Album: Let's Go
Mr. Calvin Harris is certainly on a roll. He's scored a major hit, probably his biggest, by writing and producing Rihanna's mega smash "We Found Love," who is also just about to drop the Calvin-produced "Where Have You Been," another stomper. He's also produced the new Scissor Sisters track (see below) AND is continuing his own successful string of singles after the Kelis assisted "Bounce" and the surprise hit "Feel So Close," with "Let's Go" featuring Ne-Yo.
I've gone from kinda digging this track to really loving it. It's Calvin's big catchy clubby sound... which I do worry will get stale after a bit (though not yet!) but it's also got this 80's island R&B vibe that I can't quite put my finger on. Is it Billy Ocean-esque? Nah... something. Dunno, but I dig it.
Still no word if Mr. Harris plans to add these singles with some other tracks and actually do a third album... he seems content with these one-offs. Oh, scratch that... I guess the record is due sometime this year. Cool.
Anyhow, if this don't make your booty move, your booty must be dead, and other Friday tips and tricks.
Enjoy.
Let's Go
Only the Horses - Scissor Sisters (Prod. by Calvin Harris)
Where Have You Been? - Rihanna (Prod. by Calvin Harris & Dr. Luke)
As Spring promises Summer, my mind drifts to warmer weather, rooftop cocktails, sandy beaches, and... well not winter. And who better to score the longing pangs for summer than Danish 90's throwbacks Alphabeat!
The band is set to release their third record sometime this summer and has kicked it all off with sunny first single "Vacation," which screams for tops down, little clothing, and just the right hint of wild abandon.
I stumbled across this album last month and I've been really enjoying it throughout. Having a bit of trouble finding info on the band... but when you call yourself "Le Le," you're sort of reveling in your un-googleness right? Oh well.
From what I've gathered, Le Le is a Dutch trio of artists, as in a graphic designer, a writer, and a musician. One throws a popular party in Paris. They made this record.
"Partytime" is an amalgam of electro styles, a little English, a little French, and a lot of fun. They even nod their heads to Milli Vanilli, on a track called "Pearl Necklace." Hipster approved. But this is good. Take a listen below.
Song: Safe and Sound
Artist: Capital Cities
Album: Capital Cities EP
I've been pretty obsessed with this new track, "Safe and Sound" by Capital Cities, and L.A.-based duo comprised of Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian, who formed in 2008 after a meeting via Craigslist.
They've only released two singles, a five-track self-titled EP, as well as a single for "Safe and Sound" which includes a couple remixes and a b-side. You can all of them here. They also have a Tumblr, because they're just that hip.
No info yet when a debut album is coming, though from the sounds of the EP, this handsome, bearded duo is a band to watch.
Oh... they also do a killer cover of "Holiday." Nice!
Enjoy.
Safe and Sound
I Sold My Bed, But Not My Stereo
One Minute More
I've discovered Karmin the wrong way... I missed all of their tongue-in-cheek hip-hop covers on YouTube, that garnered them exposure and a lot of famous fans, as well as their first single. I've just discovered their second, the Katy Perry meets Ke$ha "Brokenhearted" that is absolutely infectious. Check this out...
With some back-peddling I've now heard their truly fun and off kilter takes on "Super Bass" (below) "Party Rock Anthem" and a Chris Brown song I didn't know. And their official first single "Crash Your Party," which is honestly just so-so.
"Hello," the bands debut is coming in early May. This might really be something.
