My Body Sings Electric

Pop-punk stalwart My Body Sings Electric used to lean heavy, but the band heads more toward pop on its latest release.

Tickle Me Pink broke up, leaving shoes to be filled at the top of the local pop-punk scene. With Changing Color, My Body Sings Electric seems ready to step in.
