Waltham is a band from Massachusetts that released some very good music in the first half of the 00's, heavily influenced by the melodic rock sound of the eighties.

The first song to be lifted off the new record is the Rick Springfield-inspired "You're Everything That I Want": watch the iPhone Text Lyric Video clicking on the image.

Hey! Hello! is a "noisy pop" side-project by Ginger Wildheart (former The Wildhearts' frontman) and Victoria Liedke and features Ginger playing all instruments, a feat for which he had to learn drums.

"Black Valentine" is the opening track taken from Hey! Hello!'s self-titled debut album; here's what Ginger had to say about the song: "Black Valentine is that person in your life who doesn't understand personal space and turns intimacy into an endurance test. It's a new person in your life who is still on trial and not doing a great job so far. But you give them a second chance – and a third. Hell, you're lonely… what else ya gonna do?"

BV is an extremely catchy powerpop song that you can download for free, visiting the Hey! Hello! bandcamp page (enter "0" in the "Buy Now" box).
