Hole In My Heart

The Dawn Parade

unsigned/Sugartown

WE SAY

In the last year or so of his life, John Peel championed this band more than just about any other. Now we intend to do the same, starting with their future classic Hole In My Heart. This is soul music, wearing its heart on its sleeve and reaching for the skies. Songwriter Greg McDonald has mastered the art of melody and he's determined to use it (listen to the end of the song - unexpected and brilliant). If only there were more like him. Rolling Stone magazine named it single of the year last year in its 'Well Hung At Dawn' column.
