Finally there is a song that will stay in your head for hours after hearing it... that isn't a piece of shit. Fitz and the Tantrums song "HandClap" is possibly the most infectious song you will hear - and love. If it was a disease the human race would be toast. Fitz and the Tantrums are a Los Angeles band formed in about 2010 by French-born American Michael Fitzpatrick. He enlisted his college buddy James King who recommended soul singer Noelle Scaggs and suddenly Joseph Karnes, John Wicks and Jeremy Ruzumna completed the lineup. Michael Fitzpatrick stated that putting the band together was like five phone calls, one rehearsal and they could've played a show that night... that's how much they clicked.
Their debut album 'Pickin' Up the Pieces' from 2010 featured another Bitter FM favourite "MoneyGrabber" - another song that will always be on the Bitter FM playlists.
They released their self-titled third album this year and that even has a song co-written and produced by 'Lorde' producer Joel Little. But let's get back to "HandClap". The album itself may be a move from old Motown style soul to more polished pop-soul with even less of the indie rock element - but if "HandClap" fires up your next party.... then all is forgiven.
Get Clapping!
