Single of the Week 25/03/13 - Cut Your Hair "Mad Love"

This week's Single of the Week on Kool Rock Radio is "Mad Love", the title track from Cut Your Hair new 3-track single.

The song, highly influenced by the baggy/Madchester era,  has been in high rotation on www.koolrockradio.com for a few days and we just can't get enough. 

We talked with the boys about the song and they said: 

"It is a love song influenced by a clubby sound and by many dance singles from the 90s like 'Step on' by Happy Mondays. We're all very excited about Mad Love because I think it reflects more what we're becoming as a band and it might show some indications about where do we want to go, what do we want to do."

Mad Love is out now via Mushroom Pillows. You can also grab your copy via iTunes.

Tracklist:
01. Mad Love
02. Sweet Sensation
03. American Lullaby
