Eric Hutchinson looks like the kind of guy you can trust – honest, approachable, some-how familiar. There’s just something about him that invites you to give up your innermost thoughts. Sounds Like This was released in the US initially on Hutchinson’s own label, Let’s Break Records, and overnight it was breaking records – thanks largely to the efforts of a good friend. One of his high school buddies emailed celebrity blogger Perez Hilton a link to Hutchinson’s MySpace page. Hilton recommended it on his site and soon, Eric’s album was ensconced in iTunes’ Top 10 alongside the latest releases from Kanye West and Dave Matthews. It peaked at #5 on the US iTunes album chart, becoming the highest-charting album by an unsigned act in iTunes history.

Fan favourite ‘Rock & Roll’ follows a pair of players rolling their way through the bar scene and ultimately into bed with one another, while its lilting ska-inflected groove erupts into one of Hutchinson’s rapid-fire bouts of wordplay. It has had a major sync deal in the Australia as lead track in the popular Aussie show ‘Packed To The Rafters’
