Play Me Some of That          

Power My Pop (Play Me Some of That - April 2017)

When in doubt, you start from the start. It’s been years now, but if memory serves me correctly, this one was my first crack. It helped that it was one of just a few of the songs on Juliet for which Nick offered real lyrics. I took his line, “They told me talking to you would be like chewing barbed wire with a mouth ulcer,” and I ran with it. The line itself feels pretty punk rock, but when I tried to write through it, I gravitated to this Dylan “Like A Rolling Stone” phrasing, and then I just followed through. It didn’t take long. I was in the right head, thinking about how Tucker’s first meeting with Julie, hanging around the LA clubs in the late eighties, wanting to take from all of this, even if it was just back to his hotel room. Already feeling like she was trouble. I couldn’t have gotten a better person to sing this song than Scott McCaughey. I chose him because of Nick’s mention of The Minus 5 participating in the Juliet tribute record in the book, but his voice had just the right balance of urgency, angst and slacker. My teenage son Aidan conquered the guitar parts each in single takes. I am so proud.

Wherefore Art Thou

And You Are? (feat. Scott McCaughey)

A wonderful love song about the things we think about when we encounter a loved one, or a soon to be loved one. It's quite good, right?

Oh…
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna say? 
Whatcha gonna think?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna be?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha think you're doing when you saw her face?
Whatcha think she'll do?
Whatcha think she'll say?
Whatcha think she'd do?
Oh oh…
What did you think would happen to you?
Whenever you felt lonely, I was always here with you.

Whatcha?

An ode to our artist's favorite food, it reveals a human side to our invincible foe!

Cheesy Meatballs! Are what I love the most!
Yes, Cheesy Meatballs! Are what I love the most!
They really taste so wonderful,
they really taste divine,
but what is it that they bring?
Something inside, something inside. 
What is it, something that's cheesy? 
Or is it something green?
Or something greasy?
Or something mean?
Something mean, something mean.

Cheesy Meatballs

We are proud to announce the first release from our next album, inspired by the Alfred Hitchcock classic 1935 film The 39 Steps. For this album, we took a new approach by writing an album intended to loosely accompany the film - one song for each major scene. We hope it appeals to both existing fans of our music and Hitchcock fans as well.

We'll be releasing each song as a single in the coming weeks, finally releasing the collection as an album shortly thereafter. We hope you enjoy what you hear!

Monkeys is about breaking the fantasy of monotony. It is about the vibrancy of self-choice that bleeds with energy and passion. To Half Hadley, Monkeys in an anthem for transforming 9-to-5 office jobs for a dream to play music. To the listener, it is about the ambition to break tradition and pursue something meaningful and personal.

Whatcha?
