Broadside – “Bang”

The Richmond-based trio, Broadside, has returned with a great new single called “Bang” via SharpTone Records. The song features a great guest vocal appearance by Josh Roberts, and continues the sonic exploration of the sound that Broadside tinkered with on their last single (“Cruel”). The track opens with an eerie guitar riff paired with the vulnerable lyrics of, “Hang my head out the window / Watching the cars go / Hoping that one of them / Would change my life / They say it’s all that ego keeping your feet cold / I should listen to my daddy’s advice / I bite my tongue until the blood is running down my chest,” before exploding into a crowd-pleasing chorus. The electric new single was produced, mixed and mastered by Andrew Wade, and he gets a powerful performance out of the talented band.

The second verse of, “I tried to bottle up sorrow / Save some for tomorrow / Praying that whisk y / Jesus saves my life / I’m checking in on my demons to see how they’re feeling / My momma showed me how to lose a fight / She tried to warn me I was sinking in the deeper end / Mouthful of chalk, but I didn’t ever wanna swallow it / And even if my world’s not coming to a bitter end / I couldn’t stand the taste of it / I need more than a sedative,” paints the picture of an individual fighting their inner demons to come out of things a better person at the end. Broadside continues to impress on songs like this and makes me that much more excited to see where they go to next.
