My New Favorite Band (An Occasional Series)

From London by way of Ireland, and from their about to be released debut album, please enjoy Music City and their drop dead fabulously rockin' ode to "Common Sense".

I first heard about those kids over at our friend Sal Nunziato's invaluable Burning Wood blog the other day; normally, I wouldn't try to steal Sal's thunder but I fell so hard for Music City that I really wanted to second that emotion, if you catch my drift. 😎

In any case, the whole album is just fantastic, and basically sounds like a great '80s skinny-tie pop band you somehow missed. Which is to say they seem to have been genetically bred to make music I was guaranteed to flip over.

The album -- aptly titled Welcome to Music City -- is dropping (as the kids say) over at Amazon, Spotify and the rest of the usual outlets on Feb. 27th. Apparently the only physical version of it available will be on vinyl, which frankly I am planning to enjoy immensely.

I should add that you can preview the entire album on YouTube OVER HERE; the band doesn't appear to have an official website where you can find out more about them yet, but I'll keep you posted if and when that changes.
