Posted by: Adam Morrison | May 5 2009 11:30AM

Sugar Ray are returning from their break with a new album and tour. Music For Cougars comes out July 21st, and the lead single, "Boardwalk," will hit airwaves later this month.

Vocalist Mark McGrath, who left his role on TV's "Extra" for this project, tells Billboard.com, "We have realistic views of how the music industry is today. I know people aren't sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for a Sugar Ray record. But that wasn't the point. It was purely because we love to make music." Click here for the article.

Known tracks include "She’s Got The...(Woo-Hoo)," "Love Is The Answer," and Eddie Hodges' "(Girls Girls Girls Are) Made To Love," and Guests on the album include Collie Buddz, Rivers Cuomo, Donovan Frankenreiter, Tim Pagnotta, Dean Butterworth, Josh Freese, and Wayne Jobson.

5 Songs You Gotta Hear Today
  1. Jeff Martin

    The World is Calling

    Since the Tea Party disbanded in 2005, their former frontman has been working on a solo career, among other things. The lead single from his first and so far only solo studio album, 2006's Exile and the Kingdom, is reportedly an open letter to the Bush administration.

    Sounds like The Tea Party (you guessed it!), The Doors at their most worldly psychedelic
  2. Hello Beautiful

    Virginia Symphony

    This Whitby band blends punk, rock, and hip hop in a refreshingly unique and engaging way. Soundtrack For Scenario is out now, and keep an ear out for a new album in 2010.

    Sounds like 311, Billy Talent
  3. Think About Life

    Sweet Sixteen

    You might think about life while listening to this Montréal band, but you'll probably be too distracted having a good time.

    Sounds like SLAVE to the SQUAREwave, The Sounds crossed with a light-hearted MGMT
  4. The Rural Alberta Advantage

    Don't Haunt This Place

    Recently signed to Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst's record label, Saddle Creek ... catchy Toronto by way of Alberta indie rock ... incredible harmonies!

    Sounds like Ra Ra Riot, Death Cab For Cutie, Hayden
  5. Najuah

    I Don't Wanna Love U

    Toronto six-piece fronted by two sisters. Diverse influences, a rock & roll attitude, and some good grooves give them very broad appeal.

    Sounds like No Doubt stripped of their ska, some time before Gwen went bananas.
