FREE DOWNLOAD: "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" by THE HIPWADERS
Last week, I reviewed "Gaia She Knows," the new single from THE HIPWADERS, right here on The Rock Father. While the focus of that release (available digitally, and in the archaic "compact disc" format) is the title track in two versions, the inclusion of a fresh version of "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" as the B-side makes it an Easter 2013 must-have. In just seven days, a six-foot anthropomorphic rabbit will be making his way across the land, dropping off baskets full of Easter joy - but you don't have to wait until then for some Easter rock... THE HIPWADERS are making "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" available as a FREE DOWNLOAD for the next week! Stream it below, then grab it from their Soundcloud page...
