I've been trying to follow the presidential race as diligently as I possibly can. Between the two conventions back-to-back, plus the recent controversy over new Republican vice presidential candidate Palin's pregnant teen, there's plenty of news going back and forth. But if you weren't paying attention to The Hush Sound as diligently (like me), you may have missed their most recent song.
After their release of Goodbye Blues several months ago now, The Hush Sound decided to get a bit involved. Joining a ton of other famed Fueled By Ramen and pop-punk artists (Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is..., Gym Class Heroes, among others) The Hush Sound decided to contribute to Fall Out Boy's free digital album-meets-mixtape thing, Welcome To The New Administration.
Amongst a slew of demos, remixes, and whatnots, The Hush Sound provides us with their political perspective, with their new song, "We Believe In Barack Obama," which is incredibly fun if you ask me. They basically tell you... well, you can probably guess by the title, but do so in a fun, hip-hop-pop style that will stir those feet and antsy writing hands until election day in November. Of course, this news would have completely slipped past me, had they not recorded a live session with Paste Magazine of the same song, which is equally as enthusiastic!
So, one more time, let's run down the list of chores. Drop by The Hush Sound's Myspace, maybe even say hello, or listen to some tunes. Also, don't forget, sooner or later, these cats should be appearing on Daytrotter (Sorry, I'm really anxious for that!). Run over to Fall Out Boy's Friend or Enemies profile, and with a semi-complicated but thoroughly quick application, download yourself a nifty copy of Welcome To The New Administration, which features The Hush Sound's latest jingle. And finally, rush on over to Paste, and catch The Hush Sound's live in-studio performance of "We Believe In Barack Obama."
