Some Love for My Pop Star Friend Davis Fetter

Wanted to give a quick shout out to my old friend Davis Fetter who has recently released a brand new single and video. Davis is a Southern California native with whom I became acquainted with when I did a story about Peter Murphy and his band was the opening act. We immediately hit it off and our love of music and mutual interest in guitar made for some great conversations as well as me doing some interviews with him. He is a great young kid for whom I wish a ton of success for in today's Justin Bieber-ish musical landscape. For this tune in particular, Davis manages to somehow conjure some visions of Buddy Holly over a tight hard driving, straight forward riff that reminds me of the some of the Damned's earlier work for some crazy reason. You can watch the video here....
All of his work in available on iTunes as well. Go check it out and tell him Hipcheck sent you. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/born-single/id590849627
