MP3 MJHibbett & The Validators - Better Things To Do
3 MP3 Songs
POP: Quirky, ROCK: Punk
Details:
Artists Against Success proudly present the new single from MJ Hibbett & The Validators - ''Better Things To Do''.
''Better Things To Do'' is an open-hearted love song that feels like a great big hug. It''s a fanfare for the simple things that bring us most joy, whether it be watching DVDs and getting drunk at home or just wandering around with someone you really love.
The single features two exclusive b-sides. ''Leave My Brother Alone'' is a moving tribute to the trials of brotherhood whilst ''The Other Rush Hour'' is a hard-edged appraisal of modern attitudes to sex and class.
There''s also an extensive multi-media section to the CD with lyrics, photographs and an entire extra set of songs in mp3 format. ''Zipcodes'' is a ''virtual cassette'' featuring six more songs recorded by MJ Hibbett at home. Highlights of this set include a patriotic call to drink (''Sod It, Let''s Get Pissed'') and the title track, a meditation on a childhood spent reading Marvel comics.
This is the first single from the band''s forthcoming album ''WE VALIDATE!'', due out at the start of July. The album features 11 other brand new songs recorded over the past nine months, most of which the band will be playing out on tour during the summer.
