Feb 27, 2014 The Pains of Being Pure at Heart By Scott Dransfield

Indie rock quintet The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have shared the first single from their upcoming album, Days of Abandon. It’s a bright, summery tune that departs slightly from the crunchy ‘90s-indebted sound of 2011’s Belong. In addition, Pains have announced a full national tour supporting the album. Listen to “Simple and Sure” below, followed by tour dates. Days of Abandon is out April 22 via Yebo Music.
