Plain White T's

Plain White T's (read as "plain white tees") is an American pop punk band from Chicago, Illinois. Formed in 1997 by high school friends Tom Higgenson and Ken Fletcher, the group had a mostly underground following in Chicago basements, clubs, and bars in its early years, and underwent numerous personnel changes.

The band is best known for the number-one hit song "Hey There Delilah", which achieved platinum status in 2007 and earned two Grammy nominations, as well as "1, 2, 3, 4" and "Rhythm of Love", which were certified platinum in 2009 and 2011, respectively.

The band's single "Rhythm of Love" was released on July 2010. The track is the first from their 2010 album The Wonders of the Younger. The record has the band leaving their previous sound behind and adopting a "live-in-the room acoustic California-pop feel", and is the first to feature some songs without lead singer Higgenson, instead with guitarist Tim Lopez taking the lead vocal duties on several tracks. In 2012, the band also covered The Ramones' "Pet Sematary" for the song soundtrack of the 2012 Tim Burton film Frankenweenie.

The band's new EP, released on April 9th, features 4 songs: Should've Gone To Bed, The Giving Tree, Helium and Haven't Told Her.
