This morning I was catching up on the mp3s that Fred Thomas posted to City Center’s blog. I do this every couple weeks, and while all of the tracks were good this one really stood out:
Fred describes the song as “”Tonight Tonight” by the Smashing Pumpkins, maybe with some Alice In Chains undercurrents,” but I’m also getting a bit of The Microphones song “the Glow pt. 2″ in the guitars.
Listen and enjoy…I know I did…This song was on repeat in my headphones my entire commute to work.
