Here's a catchy, yet melancholic pop-rocker about the end of a relationship. This song would be great in a contrasting scene, ala 'American Girl' in 'Silence Of The Lambs'. The tones and subject feel like an early 80's late summer beach scene. Male Vocals, Rock, Melodic Rock
Dark, but catchy, reflects the dynamic of this tune. Like if AC/DC wrote a tune for a David Lynch film. Mean, riffy guitars ala the Stooges, with a melodic chorus & thought provoking lyrics about the decline of the mental state. This is party rock, only if the party was on Halloween. Turn it up! Male Vocals, Rock, Hard Rock
A melodic crescendo to a great pop rock tune, about coping with the mundane and reflecting on the simple pleasures in life. Male Vocals, Rock, Melodic Rock
