It sounds like a hellish formula created by Dark Willow: Hanson + Smashing Pumpkins + Fountains of Wayne + Cheap Trick = Pop Supergroup.

And yet it’s happening. Members of all those bands have joined forces to create Tinted Windows. They just dropped their first single and will release an album in April. 

It seems unnatural, right? Did the kids who liked Smashing Pumpkins in the 90s even talk to the Hanson fans? And weren’t the Cheap Trick fans, like, our sketchy older cousins? Yet now they’ve fused, like a crazy pop Cerberus barking out bubblegum riffs.

And the weirdest part is that their first single “Kind of a Girl” is really good. It sounds like a fuzzier Fountains of Wayne track, full of bounce and harmony and electric guitar:

Between this and the news that Steven Page is leaving Barenaked Ladies in the wake of a coke bust, I feel like the 90s have unraveled. Next thing you know, Alanis Morissette will be endorsing beef jerky and R. Kelly will seem sane.
