Plain White T's
Apr 19, 2015
"Pause" is the latest single from the five-piece band, Plain White T's. It comes off of the band's highly anticipated seventh studio album, American Nights, which is out on March 31st. The record serves as the band's first independent release since 2001.
"Our new album, American Nights, really focuses on being present and concentrating on what's happening now instead of what might happen tomorrow," front-man Tom Higgenson explains. "This song, 'Pause,' is our lead single and it urges the listener to push pause and live in the moment." Elaborating on the album, Higgenson adds, "We had complete freedom. We weren't worried about doing too many acoustic songs or too many rock songs. We just wanted to do the ones that told our story. We wanted to be honest, because that's always been what's connected us the most to our fans."
Formed in 1997, Plain White T's are originally from Lombard, Illinois by high school friends Tom Higgenson, Dave Tirio, Ken Fletcher and Steve Mast. The band is best known for the number-one hit song "Hey There Delilah", which achieved platinum status in 2007 and earned two Grammy nominations as well as "1234" and "Rhythm of Love", which were certified platinum in 2009 and 2011, respectively.
