Wheatus

NEW SONG ALERT! During our recent USA tour we wrote & recorded a song for The Sing Me a Story Foundation. With lyrics inspired by a story from a 14-year-old named David, we recorded "Volcano Sister" live during our soundcheck at Turner Hall in Milwaukee, WI. Check the link below to listen, and if you donate $1 or more to our chosen charity (https://www.streetkidsdirect.org.uk), you'll get an MP3 of the song to keep forever. We hope you enjoy and that you'll help us support this great cause.

It’s not every day we soundcheck directly next to a wedding... especially not one where the happy couple’s big song happens to be one of ours.
