Are you TRYING to kill me with your adorable puppy dog eyes and your pea coats? That's what we call a cheap shot, boys. Yes, I could watch this video on mute and still be sold on the men of Parachute...
While frontman Will Anderson can clearly play me like a fiddle, Parachute's heartfelt, melody-driven pop-rock has an even broader appeal. The guys (four of the five are high school buddies) released their debut album, Losing Sleep, in May, with production by John Shanks, who boasts Bon Jovi and Stevie Nicks credits.
Perhaps you saw the Virginia natives perform alongside Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift in Times Square for New Year's Eve -- hey, maybe they even diluted some of that post break-up tension? -- but if Parachute is still news to you, check out the video for the group's first single, "She Is Love," below.
It's a solid indie-pop ballad (pay attention, Matt White fans); and while the video had potential to be painfully corny, Will's earnest performance pulls it all off -- or maybe it's just that pea coat. Sigh...
