A cheap way to smash a pumpkin in a fountain with your friend Wayne Hanson.

I just found my new favorite band.

What do you get when you take the solid, pop rhythm of Cheap Trick, the crunch of Smashing Pumpkins, temper it with Fountains of Wayne’s melodic bubblegum, AND top it off with a surprisingly grown up Hanson?

You get Tinted Windows, and it is quite possibly the best merging of 4 different groups I’ve heard in a while. It takes all of the signature sounds of each and makes a single, very catchy, very poppy, very fun summer hit.

While I love all types of music (my itunes library is VERY eclectic), I always gravitate towards this music, I think because it’s just fun, period. I did it when I first heard Fuzzbubble (thanks Kev), Fountains, and of course Cheap Trick (Which I played until the tape broke – yes I said tape…as in cassette tape). I’m excited for the album and will offer a full review when it’s released.

Now go check out Fuzzbubble already!
