Somehow it seems appropriate that the eternally sunny Spinto Band would be the next to cover the song rock critic Lester Bangs once called “the bubblegum apotheosis.” Its rendition of “I Think We’re Alone Now” (originally recorded by Tommy James And The Shondells in 1967, covered by pop sensation Tiffany in 1987) is the musical equivalent of a root beer float on a warm summer day: frothy, bubbly and all sorts of sweet. The song will be released March 2 as the b-side of the Wilmington, Del., group’s next single, “Vivian Don’t.” Don’t look for any mall concerts a la Tiffany, though—the Spinto Band is touring Europe until a SXSW appearance in March.
