NYC based band Future Generations have probably had a hot dog fresh off a city street cart (or not). Well, what I do know for sure is that their new song ‘Stars’ is an optimistic, infectious tune heavy on hooking guitar and smooth synth.
Check out Future Generations on the band’s Website where you can buy their music.
Cheers!
