I think rock is going to make a comeback. At least in the UK with people like Sam Fender and Liam Gallagher (re)gaining traction, and in the US with the Hella Mega tour making headlines, and Panic! At the Disco dominating with High Hopes (though it's not THE most rocky song there is, it still shows that the rock pedigree is alive).
In Europe people are in general more into rock, at least how I observe it. There are so many good 'rock" bands over here that I still enjoy - both brothers from Oasis are realising some decent music, Foals, Wolf Alice, Nothing But Thieves, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Ben Howard, Mumford & Sons, Hozier, Kasabian and many more.
I wonder if part of it is just the pure size and diversity of music styles in the US makes it hard for a more singular rock aesthetic to take over the airwaves? What with all the country, bluegrass, southern rock and all different varieties of music that have their niches in different states. Whereas the UK at least is pretty homogenous in its music scene and its mainstream radio stations: if a rock band/song gains any traction, it's going to be heard and noticed across the nation.
Song reminds me of elements of BA, Futures, and Chase This Light combined with some new elements. Also I love the comeback the sax is making in rock music.
man. doesn’t sound anything like BA or futures to me. still like it, but it sounds like a better version of the last two records. a bit of CTL there for sure though. still excited but y’all can’t just say stuff like that willy nilly
