We've talked about the Features here before. Here is a feature about their label issues. Interesting read. Universal wanted them to record "All You Need is Love" for a Chase credit card commercial. They balked.

Oh mah god, that was long.

Thanks for sharing. I've been wondering what happened to them. Matt Pelham couldn't be any nicer of a guy and they're such a good band.

Fucking Chase.

Yeah, that is a long article.

Interesting that Nada Surf went ahead and recorded the Beatles song that the Features passed on.

Not hating, just saying. I'm sure I've heard this on the tv box.

Anyone have that recording from Nada Surf?

thanks for that link. For a second I thought that would have been Nada's "Always Love", which I just totally got confused with this song. Was this being commercially released?

I don't think so. At least not yet. Looks like Universal wanted the Features to use the Beatles song as a lead single from their next record, which felt wrong to them. I can't imaginge Nada Surf would be down with the idea either.

The Features are playing Chicago 12/30 & 12/31 with the Raconteurs at the Riv. Shit ain't cheap, but it will be a blast.
