Source is their official website. Single released today.
Although their Modern radio days may be behind them, I expect many rock stations to jump on their supposed big comeback, North Hollywood Shootout. This has the light sound of Run-around.

If it sounds anything like "Run-Around," I wouldn't expect it to do much on Alternative these days since it's not 1995 anymore, but at Hot AC/AAA, I could see it make an absolute killing.

Not '95 anymore? Foo Fighters and Weezer must not have gotten that message, and they have the two most popular songs on radio. They've also been consistently popular since 1995. Blues Traveler has not. |

The Horizons Of Rock Developing Everywhere Festival getting canceled cannot be a good sign. I saw H.O.R.D.E. in the '90s with Gov't Mule, Barenaked Ladies, Paula Cole, Ben Harper, and Blues Traveler. Most of them were excellent. Blues Traveler was boring.

Blues Traveler has not. That's exactly my point. Blues Traveler's sound overall just doesn't do well on the Alternative format anymore when the others you mention still do. Although I can't think of many other bands that sound similar to Weezer anyway. |

I've heard a promo copy of the album. It's a great album from top to bottom. I'm not a huge Blues Traveler fan but this album flows well, grooves and rocks. This song won't crack any rock charts but i could see AC/Hot AC giving this band another chance.

I disagree about the "top to bottom" part. But other than this single. it's a little heavier than the last one I got from them, Truth Be Told.
