Midtown Dickens first caught our attention when we saw them open for The Mountain Goats last year. Now, the North Carolina group is preparing to release a new album, titled Home, on April 3rd via Trekky Records. Today, MTV premiered a new track from the effort, “Cross My Heart,” and you can listen to it below.
