Wax Fang will release a new song, “The Blonde Leading The Blonde,” on April 30 on their Don’t Panic Records imprint. The single follows Wax Fang’s scoring of the 150th episode of Fox TV series “American Dad,” whikch will air on May 5. The episode features several songs from Wax Fang’s back catalog, a sneak peak of their forthcoming album, The Astronaut, as well as original music produced specifically for the show.
From Crash Avenue’s press release, there’s this explanation of the song’s message: “Lead singer Scott Carney examines the absurdities of the music industry, drawing attention to the irony of music executives posing as tastemakers, perpetuating the mediocrity that is popular music through the wealth of resources and channels available to them while belittling the standards of the music buying public in the process.”
Head over to soundcloud.com/waxfang/the-blonde-leading-the-blonde to stream the song.
