It's been a while since we kicked things off with a song. Giving us the boot this morning is former Port O’Brien frontman and current WATERS frontman Van Pierszalowski. His newest project is called Van William. He’s recruited the Swedish sisters First Aid Kit for a new single “Revolution”. It's a catchy slice of folk-pop with a jaunty melody that belies its lyrics: “I want a revolution/ You want a short solution/ We never could see eye to eye/ You wanted retribution/ I came to the same conclusion/ It’s a story as old as time.” It's a great listen, but seriously...he had me at First Aid Kit.
