The United States of America has got a new President, and who better to write a pop song about it than The Presidents of The USA?
Entitled "Moving In", the track is the first PUSA production out of Chris Ballew's brand new Track Shack studios.
"I think the whole three year cycle is far too big for a little two and a half minute pop song," explains drummer Jason Finn. "So what we were trying to do is encapsulate different elements, so there's a little section about the beginning of the candidacy, there's a little section covering Hillary and McCain, the various adversaries, and then there's the whole second half – post solo if you will – which is like 'when is this thing going to be over?' And now it is over. There's been a butt kicking, and it's over!"
"Moving In" is available as a free download from www.presidentsrock.com.
You can also listen to the band discussing the track and performing it live on NPR's Weekend America - http://weekendamerica.publicradio.org/display/web/2009/01/17/presidents_song/
PUSA will be playing a one off UK gig in London on Saturday 4th April at The Forum.
