Super duo alert! Kevin McGovern (The Prostitutes) and Hillary Burton (honeychain/Pandoras) are two of my favorite people in the world of music. Now they've come together to form a new and exciting project called The Trouble Seekers. I would describe the band's general aesthetic as "experimental punk rock". Influences range from Killed By Death comps to new wave to power pop to the artsier side of punk music. If you dig the direction The Prostitutes have been taking with their more recent releases, The Trouble Seekers ought to be right up your alley. They have an album in the works which will be released this year by Rock N Roll Manifesto Records. Debut single "Cruel Summer" gives you an idea of what to expect. It's a perfect execution of the "punk rock with keyboards" concept, and these two formidable talents sure sound great singing together! One track leaves me wanting more, and that's clearly the point. This gives us yet another album to look forward to in '22! Cover art and band logo is by the supremely talented Rob Sheley!
