The guys in Plain White T’s have learned a bit about life since “Hey There Delilah” and that’s no more evident than in the new video for the infectious single, “Natural Disaster”. No longer is the band wallowing after long gone college sweethearts; this time they’re the ones with the upper hand as they swagger into the club and can have their pick of any girl who crosses their path. Is Delilah is the one who’s jealous now?

Watch the video for “Natural Disaster”, and the new album Big Bad World

The Plain White T’s are back with a new single called ‘1, 2, 3, 4’. In addition to naming their song like that, it also sounds like something that Feist would do. The new single is very similar to the band’s monster single ‘Hey There Delilah’ which is again, not a bad thing. That song was massive! The new song should do quite well at radio. It’s a pretty love song that’s catchy and clever. You can hardly go wrong with something pretty, catchy and pop. Just ask the Jonas Brothers. It’s pretty much the story of their music career.

Plain White T’s have just released the first single off their forthcoming album Big Bad World. The track, “Natural Disaster” can be previewed on the band’s MySpace page. myspace.com/plainwhitets
