With its burning grunge riffs, striking basslines and piercing vocals, it is a deep dive into rock that you didn’t know you needed. The atmosphere is dark and mysterious, a play to bury you within its many layers of power and grit. It has that distinct 90s alt rock flavor and they don’t hold back. And it is exactly what you need if you’re going to go out there and do it for yourself. It sparks the underdog awake in the listener, keeps it real and raw. With a phenomenal bridge, it takes the listener through the reality of happiness, of all the traps it sets, and the shadows that it keeps you chasing. 

Satellite Train – James Dean
