Weekend Videos: The Cars – Sad Song

The recent trend has seen seemingly every relic from the 70s and 80s with half a hit committing to a comeback tour and coming out looking worse off for it. Fortunately this consideration needn’t apply to The Cars.

I was naturally excited when I found out Ric Ocasek would be reuniting with Greg Hawkes, Elliot Easton and David Robinson to record after 24 years. Already sounding progressive in their heyday; the band have kept busy over they years and none more than leader Ocasek who has produced some of my favourite albums over the years.

Sad Song‘ is the first single from new album ‘Move Like This‘ and manages in the trick of feeling like a classic Cars track whilst sounding as good if not better as many of their newer contemporaries. The band set out on a big North American Spring Tour in May so keep an eye out for those dates.
