From his upcoming solo mini album Lime Green, Mayhaw Hoons’ new single is “The Swinger”.
The Portland, OR based artist has spent five years playing along members of local bands, including The Shaky Hands and The Minders, and just recently ended his time as the bassist with Horsefeathers. He is currently in Kyle Craft’s touring band. Lime Green marks Hoons’ first solo project.
“The Swinger” is definitely a punk song with pop tune undertones – the kind of song that makes you sing along even though the lyrics don’t paint the same positive picture (“Those records are right, it’s not gonna get any better”). The video is a sprightly tour of Portland and various local haunts, with a twist at the end. The song, and video, make you want to hear more of Mayhaw Hoons.
Lime Green is out January 20th via Good Cheer. It is available for preorder now.
