Video: Shiny Toy Guns release new single "Waiting Alone"

Synthpop/indie rock band Shiny Toy Guns, which has Shawnee roots, released today “Waiting Alone,” the debut single from its forthcoming album “III.”

“III” is due out Oct. 23 on Five Seven Music and will be the first album for the band since reuniting with original vocalist Carah Faye Charnow.

The Grammy-nominated band includes bassist/synth player Jeremy Dawson and singer/guitarist Chad Petree, who grew up in Shawnee.

“The tune has Chad and Carah together as a duet, which is classic Shiny Toy Guns, and the chorus is just something we believe just grabs and holds on tight. What’s funny is that we wrote the chorus a long time ago, it stood the test of time and now it’s a lead off single,” Dawson told AltPress.com.

“It’s a love song. It’s a story that everyone has dealt with in life. The lyrics reflect when you are blindly in love and you don’t listen to the good advice from your friends. You just wait alone for that person that probably isn’t good for you to finally notice you. You’re waiting for this love to finally come home and give you the attention you deserve and desperately want.”
