8-15-11 - "Hung On You" ~ New Shouts

I've been waiting with bated breath for a day like today.  A day when Pittsburgh-based rockers New Shouts put out some new songs so I could blog about them.  And all of a sudden, it's here - a brand new 7-song EP!  These boys caught my ear the moment I found out about them back in January, and seeing them at the Warhol in March and again at the Three Rivers Arts Festival only served to enhance their awesomeness in my eyes...er, ears.


You know a band who describes themselves by saying "we wanted to be a 60's r&b girl group, but couldn't get to the 60's and couldn't find the girls so we decided to be a rock n' roll band of dudes" likes to have fun, and it's evident in their songwriting and live set.  Every track will make you want to dance, so use caution if you listen at work... unless you're in an industry that looks kindly upon dancing on the job!


This one is a celebration of the girl next door; the one you want to get to know and hide from the world, because once the rest of the guys find out, she might get snatched up...


Here's the track on bandcamp:

 "Hung On You" 

EDIT 1-29-12 The boys just released a sweet music video for the song; catch it over on Draw Us Lines, or watch here:

"I'm hung on you
and I love how you don't have a clue

from your curls down to your dancing shoes..."

You can listen to the whole EP plus 4 earlier New Shouts tracks for free on their bandcamp, and can download the older songs for free and the EP for cheap.  I highly recommend having all 11 songs on your ipod post haste; summer days are growing short!
