Gritty and raw seems to be the fad of 2009. Garage pop and rock dominate playlists, mine included. And the latest to achieve a primo spot is “Lightswitch” by Virginia duo Eternal Summers. This summer pop song is perfect for hot, lazy days and warm nights.

It’s got the laid-back swagger perfect for a living room jam, but has just enough power for a packed garage or dingy basement party. And it’s flawless for those chilly winter nights when you long for something warm and comfortable.

“Lightswitch” can be found on Eternal Summers’ self-titled EP, available for purchase from the Eternal Summers MySpace Page.
