Their catchy-as-hell song “L.A.” was changed into “Say Hey” and used in a BP commercial about a year ago, which is where they earned most of their small following. But for the past year, their MySpace page has sat empty and dormant.

Now, Message of the Blues has released an album, Da Illist [sic], through iTunes. Interestingly, according to iTunes, MotB is signed to the label started by No Doubt, Beacon Street Records (which, of course, has no website).

Here’s the aforementioned “L.A.” Keep in mind the rest of their music is much bluesier than this song, but be sure to check them out on iTunes.

Message of the Blues – L.A.
