BIO

Hailing from the suburbs of Chicago, the punk-pop outfit Plain White T's began taking shape in 1997, a full ten years before the acoustic ballad "Hey There Delilah" made them Grammy-nominated stars. "Hey There Delilah" topped the charts in ten different countries and helped jump-start sales of their album, Every Second Counts. Plain White T's received two Grammy nominations for the song, and the band returned in 2008 with Big Bad World, featuring the band's usual mix of spunky energy and pop/rock craft. The band returned to action with the 2013 EP Should've Gone to Bed before delivering the full-length American Nights in April 2015. Plain White T's recently resigned to Fearless Records and they are back in the studio working on a new album. "Land of the Living" is the first track to be released by Fearless Records this year, and there is more new music to come.
