4.20.13 - New Music - Plain White Ts

The Plain White T’s are one of those pop-rock bands that actually play instruments that have managed to eek out a top 40 hit more times than anyone really expected. In fact, they’ve now had three of them. Can you name them?

Each of their last three albums has had one, and now the band is looking to make that four in a row. They recently put out an EP – ‘Should’ve Gone To Bed’ – and the lead single shares the name. Sadly, the song isn’t up on the same level as many of their past tunes. Not only does the song sound more 90’s boyband (or even like One Direction if you aren’t listening too closely) than what we’ve come to know and love from the PWT’s, but it just isn’t great.

The song would make a fine album track, but a lead single? And after three years since their last top 40 number? This was a bad pick, and I am only just now getting to it because, well, no one really seemed to notice this.
