Radio Free MP3: Wheat, Kevin Hearn & Thin Buckle, Pete Bernhard & Elephant Stone - Page 2

The Massachusetts duo have a new album out, White Ink, Black Ink, due out on July 21 from which this crazy catchy new single comes. Those initials stand for nothing less mundane than "Half Of The Time" but the hooks will keep you singing it for days. It is the type of song that I just know reminds me of something else, but it may just be that it has been rotating through my head for so long that I'm simply remembering it again.

Check out the band's website, and myspace page for more information.

"Huntsville.ca" - Kevin Hearn & Thin Buckle

While researching this column I often find the most interesting things, but until now I've never found a Barenaked Lady. Having played keyboards and other instruments for BNL for over a decade Kevin Hearn periodically strikes out on his own and gets a little more adventuresome than any naked lady dares to do.

"Huntsville.ca" is a tripped out summer radio blaster. It is like the Beach Boys after a weekend bender. The beach blanket melody is there, but its turned to the side just enough to make the stoners sit up and listen. Dont' miss the great James Bond riff in the middle. It will make you put on some dark glasses, grab Anette Funicello and discover ways of making her talk.

"Pray For Rain" - Pete Bernhard

I didn't intend for this to be the band member goes solo edition of this series, but here comes #2 in a row. Pete Bernhard is the lead singer/guitarist of indie rock scenesters The Devil Makes Three who periodically decides to go at it alone, or at least with different band mates.
