It’s been 24 long years for fans of The Cars, one of America’s most important New Wave bands of the 80s. Today, May 10th, The Cars release their brand new album, Move Like This, on Hear Music/Concord Music Group. Produced by Garret “Jacknife” Lee (Bloc Party, U2, REM, The Hives, Weezer) and The Cars, the […]
