Lucky Boys Confusion launches packed trueWidget with sponsor MacWarehouse

Another band who’s been through the major label machine, Chicago’s rock/punk outfit Lucky Boy Confusion joins the ranks of trueAnthem artists sparking a revolution, launching their trueWidget packed with free music this week. The guys have been playing out to rabid fans for a decade, releasing two albums with Elektra Records and five on their own Townstyle Records. Live, the band is full of charisma and energy, and had no trouble building a fan base when they started playing out in Chicago right after high school. In only a year, they were selling out the House of Blues and moving 10,000 copies of their debut record.

You’ll be able to download a whopping 18 LBC tracks this week, including some of their more well known songs like “Fred Astaire” and “Dumb Pop Song” (the hit that got them on the national radio circuit after heavy play by Chicago’s alternative rock station Q101).

A naturally creative bunch, LBC’s trueAds are a treat to listen to—they're the first group we’ve had who actually penned little song ditties specifically for each ad. Hard to find these spots bothersome when they add so much to your listening experience. You’ll no doubt fall in love with these guys, just like we have.

You can catch them live in the Midwest this month, where they continue to play shows and put on their annual “Songs From A Scene,” a two night sold out showcase featuring the best of the flourishing suburban Chicago music scene from which they emerged. The event has hosted major acts like the Plain White T's and The White Tie Affair.
