Talented musician siblings Kimberly, Neil and Reid Perry -- known as the Band Perry -- have finally released their catchy debut single, "Hip to My Heart," after years of touring and perfecting their sound together. Growing up in Mobile, Ala., the Perry siblings were constantly influenced by rock and country music. "Daddy rocked us to sleep with the Rolling Stones; Mama woke us up with Loretta Lynn. So we get it honest," Kimberly says on their Web site. With a comic-book feel, their video channels a playful tone as they dance and play guitars atop their lyrics. Then they transform the starch-white walls with brightly colored graffiti using cans of electric spray paint, just like disobedient children coloring on the kitchen walls. The video matches the song's upbeat nature and carefree attitude. I think we're going to see good things from this brothers-and-sister group who are committed to making their mark on the country music stage.
