In search of some new music? Murrieta’s own Neon Trees has released a new single, “Sleeping With a Friend,” off the forthcoming album “Pop Psychology.”
Singer Tyler Glenn and guitarist Chris Allen grew up in the area before moving to Provo, Utah. Fun fact: Neon Trees actually performed a homecoming show at Vista Murrieta High School in June 2013.
In 2010, the band’s major label debut “Habits” spawned the mega-hit “Animal” and the band’s first round of national and international exposure, with TV appearances on late night shows and tours with big names including 30 Seconds to Mars.
Two years later, Neon Trees followed that up with the full-length album “Picture Show” and a second monster hit with “Everybody Talks,” plus their own headlining tours.
The new album “Pop Psychology” will be out on April 22.
The band has gigs booked with “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on Thursday, Jan. 16 and “The Today Show” on Friday, Jan. 17 so expect to be hearing a lot more of the new single soon.
