Butch Walker, who has had a successful solo career as a singer/songwriter/touring musician/producer/Renaissance man since the break up of his power-pop outfit Marvelous 3 in 2001, is releasing his new album I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart on February 23rd.
You may be thinking, “Who is Butch Walker and why should I care?” I’ll tell you why…
Because Butch Walker makes pop about a trillion times MORE AWESOME! He writes and produces for all your favorite pop artists, including Pink, Weezer, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, All Time Low, Hot Hot Heat and many many more. He COVERS your favorite pop artists, like this truly awesome cover of Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” (given the seal of approval on Twitter by T. Swift herself):
And even his own music… which teeters between power-pop, folk-country and glam-rock… is pretty much always POP. Check out a couple of my favorite Butch Walker videos, and give props to the man who puts the AWESOME in pop!
“Bethamphetamine (Pretty, Pretty)” starring… Avril Lavigne!
“Mixtape”
One comment — Butch Walker is no Davey Havok.
