Song of the Day: She’s Running Away – Optical Illusion

Today’s song is She’s Running Away by New York alternative rock band, OPTICAL ILLUSION.

Started by brothers Keith and Wayne Cousin, OPTICAL ILLUSION sure made their mark on indie rock, by infusing sounds from their musical influences THE CARS, PINK FLOYD and a little of THE BEATLES. Hard to imagine? Well have a bash at the heart-racing She’s Running Away…and if this track gets you going there’s plenty more where that came from. Head over to iTunes or Amazon…once you get there, may I suggest you listen to Too Hot for Humans? Absolutely wicked!
