SELF-TITLED ALBUM OUT NOVEMBER 17 VIA FEARLESS RECORDS
BAND APPEARING AT SECOND ANNUAL WHEN WE WERE YOUNG FESTIVAL
PLAIN WHITE T'S — Tom Higgenson [vocals], Tim Lopez [lead guitar, vocals], Mike Retondo [bass], and De'Mar Hamilton [drums] — recently announced their new, self-titled album, out November 17 via Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.
Today, the band has shared their video for "Fired Up." Watch it below.
The song's layered, full melodies and tongue-in-cheek lyrics are the perfect mid-day pick-me-up — it's the sonic serotonin boost you need when the clock is about to strike 2pm and you are this close to hitting the wall. Who needs caffeine when you can get "Fired Up?" This feel-good jam will have you shimmying and swaying for the next three minutes.
"'Fired Up' is such a party," says Higgenson. "Somehow, it's energetic and lazy, amped up and chill, all at the same time. I think it might be the best song on the album. It's all about looking around and seizing the day. A total feel good song, but in an odd, quirky way. I don't think it's possible to listen to it without smiling."
Plain White T's will also appear at the second annual When We We Young Festival in Las Vegas this weekend, along with additional hometown performances below.
