Survivors features 10 pure melodic hard rock anthems!
‘Under Destruction’ is a sizzling hot melodic rock track that comes at you like a truck racing down a hill. The title, of course, is a play on the phrase “under construction”. However, in this case it speaks of lies and misinformation that lead to mistrust or social demolition. If there were ever a title that would lead to trouble in a relationship, ‘She Don't Like my Rock & Roll’ would be it. It's not easy hanging on if your partner doesn't dig the roots of your soul. This punchy song gets this point across with killer riffs, a melancholic harmony and a striking brass section in the chorus. ‘Desperate’ is a party crashing, straight out of the 80’s rollercoaster ride into the world of stardom. Some rise and some fall. 'Desperate' aims its melodic rock riffs and lyrics right between the eyes of the dark side of making it in rock music. If there is anyone left out there that believes you can trust all that you hear, then ‘Wall of Confusion’ might be good medicine for you. Super special thanks to Guernica Mancinifrom Thundermother for adding her amazing voice to this track. ‘On The Run’ is a melodramatic, mid-tempo rock track driven by loud guitars, lush orchestration and deep lyrics. With layers of 80’s vibes throughout, this track makes great "driving with the wind in your hair" music. There is a ‘Rush’ that accompanies many human activities, and this song gives that the space to happen. It drives at you from the very start with a pulse that somehow relaxes the listener and still adds tension at the same time. Epic hard rock solos have time to breathe in this groovy scenario of hurry up and wait. ‘Hot Cop Lady’: who says you can't have fun stretching the truth in a rock song? This fast, hard rocking crowd-pleaser will get you air-guitaring the riffs and chanting the chorus. ‘We’re the Survivors’ is no doubt a spot on track lush with 80’s hard rock style anthems, celebrating all of us who made it through the pandemic with our music & freedom still intact. Big guitars with a powerful meaning make this the title track from the band’s album Survivors. ‘We Are One’ is a song for the mad majority of folks who were struck down by one thing or another and find their way back through togetherness. Such a heavy theme needs a heavy moody rock track to ride on, and this one delivers.
‘Be The Hunter’ is a loud smasher of a rock song with a “back to our roots” anthem, hard driving rhythm and tons of cool riffs. A kind of “call to arms” for concert fun.
