MisterWives New Single Streaming


The band MisterWives has a new single out entitled “Kings & Queens”.  This is one of those songs that is hard to describe.  On the first listen I wasn’t to hip on it, but after listening to it a few more times the beat gets stuck in your head.  It kind of reminds me of some of the songs from the 1980’s.  Check it, and if you are like me don’t give up on it.  I think you will enjoy it.  For more music news be sure to visit Wild Honey Pie’s website http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/.
