The New Futures Release Debut Single

I guess I'll lay off the punny name titles for a little bit and keep this straight to the biznass. Well this new group  The New Futures, is straight out of Seattle, and since Jinkx Monsoon is from there, it's now relevant. Let's talk about "Sunshine."

First off let me say that is album cover is bull. These guy's aren't too bad lookin' (actually they are kind of cute. No homo -- also it is an occupational hazard for artists to come on this site and get hit on, so they should understand), and yet they got an old 50s radio on the cover instead. I guess it's artistic, but I wish they'd been on their own cover debut. Then there's the bit where we have to deal with the irony of them being from Seattle with a single called "Sunshine". Anyway, this is about the song itself, not the minor things, right?

"Sunshine" is a very grunge fueled rock explosion. It is a huge throwback to the mid 90s mix of grunge and rock with a little bit of pop sprinkled on for good measure. After looking at the actual context of the song, being that he has that one girl who is his sunshine despite him being "dark and cold", the title isn't all that ironic.

The band is lead by blonde and adorable Sammy J. I'm sure he appreciates that comment. Anyway, the rest of the members Gustavo Carmo on guitar, Chip Reno with the bass, and Robert Ray Baker Jr. bashing on the drums deserve some love, too, as the single illustrates that all four of these guys have some amazing talent. The 2000s were all about bringing back the 80s, but so far the 2010s have seemed to be all about the 90s vibes, so The New Futures should fit right in, and catch some major attention doing it.

Be sure to stop by iTunes to preview and buy their new song!
