Tinted Windows release debut LP next week!

Tinted Windows is a new pop-rock supergroup that spans musical generations, comprised of Taylor Hanson (yes, THAT Hanson), James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle), Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), and Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick). An odd collection of artistic personalities to be sure, but one that's gotten more than a few people very excited. Their live unveiling at SXSW must have been quite experience, and now the group are set to release their self-titled debut album next week, April 21st.

The band have already posted a couple songs on their website, the videos of which you can see below. It sounds as if these guys really have their act together; "Kind of a Girl" and "Messing With My Head" are fun, breezy rock songs filled with classic pop hooks that get me excited to hear the rest of the record next week.
