Upset Boy and the Queens - "Trying To Get To You" / "Think Too Much"

Initially formed by singer/songwriter/guitarist Chris Watts (Dirt Reynolds) and bassist Lulu Jones (ex-Thelma and the Sleaze) and rounded out by drummer Dan Dolive, Nashville's Upset Boy and the Queens have recently released their debut double A-Side single. "Trying To Get To You" is an alt country rocker with a bit of Replacements like raggedness and a strong power pop sensibility, while "Think Too Much" is driven by thick buzzing grungy guitar and a powerful, yet slower, almost hypnotic beat, that will lure you in with its hooks.  Quite an impressive debut, and one that definitely has me anticipating what's in store.
