Some songs can turn your day around, and “Fever Trying to Blow” by Austin’s Almost Heaven is one of them. This was the first song I heard from the band, and it’s stayed in heavy rotation ever since. I love how the song builds and moves between its sections without losing that infectious energy. It’s pretty much guaranteed to put me in a better mood than I was in before I hit play.
Catch Almost Heaven this Friday at Rock the Park!
