or at least, i'm enthralled by their new single, and can't get enough of it. they're a local Boston band, so may not be getting airplay elsewhere in the country, called Dear Leader. led by the former leader of the Sheila Divine, who i guess i missed out on, but if they were anything like this, i'll be checking out their back catalog.

anyway, the new single is called Raging Red, and it sounds like it could have come straight out of the eighties' underground scene. big guitars, catchy choruses, hooks galore. so if you're a fan of that era, and you get a chance, check them out.

i've only heard the one song, and already have tickets to see them next month. haven't been this excited about a new band in maybe a decade.
