It's been years since the Plain White T's kicked off their career in the Chicago suburbs, playing a mix of Pop, Punk and melody driven rock & Roll in basements and clubs across the metro area. A decade and a half later, with several thousand shows and a string of platinum selling singles, including the mega hit 'Hey There Delilah,' under their belts; the guys haven't stopped heading back to the basement to dream up new sounds. There's where the Plain White T's put the finishing touches American Nights, the band's first independent album since 2001. The future looks bright for the Plain White T's. Even so, American Nights is an album that lies in the present, focusing on what's happening now instead of what might happen tomorrow.
