Maureen

Fountains of Wayne

Virgin

WE SAY

We generally find Fountains Of Wayne irresistible but we make no apologies for supporting Maureen as they really pull off a great example of their formula here. It's one of the new tracks from Out-Of-State-Plates, a double compilation of rarities, B sides etc including covers of Britney Spears, Aztec Camera and others.
