Pick up the new single, Walls Come Down by Miggs

August 26, 2014

Miggs have just released their new single, Walls Come Down and I have been hooked on it! The song has a blend of rock/pop and an alternative edge. It really has this great hint of classic rock ala Steely Dan that in no way sounds dated. Miggs instead bring catchy melody, emotionally driven lyrics and an infectious beat with their own fresh style. The song is available for download on iTunes here. You can take a listen here but definitely make sure to pick up your copy: Miggs is set to release a new album in early 2015. They are also heading out on a tour next month with Terry McDermott.
