On And On

Frantic Songstress JEEN Looks Back At Being In A Bad Place With ‘ON AND ON’

Posted on by JL

New striking strokes

12 May 2022

Artist: JEEN

Who: All-round Canadian singer/songwriter who has written for many recording
artists such as ‘Great Big Sea’, ‘Serena Ryder’, ‘Res’, ‘Hawksley Workman’, ‘Brendan Canning’, ‘FUWA FUWA’, Martin ‘Doc’ McKinney and more. She was a member of ‘Cookie Duster‘ with ‘Brendan Canning‘ of ‘Broken Social Scene‘.

Albums: Gift Shop (2018), Jeen (2020), Dog Bite (2021)

New single: ON AND ON

Jeen: “It’s about breaking points and falling down more times than you’re
willing to get back up. I wrote this song last year when everything was
grinding me down and nothing seemed worth it. “

Turn Up The Volume: This is the first taster of Jeen‘s new, forthcoming album (September). Four albums in 4 years. Talking about non-stop creative productivity.
I wonder when she finds the time to write for other artists.

From the kick-off you sense the anxious retrospect on desperate experiences,
but also the gung-ho determination to get back on track. Jean has that poignant
willpower and that knock-down-and-drag-out emotiveness of Avril Lavigne. She’ll
find a way to sort it all out.

Everything got so complicated
Every day’s so intoxicating
Anyway I tried a hundred times (and on and on and on)
And I think you must be blind
When you say everything’s fine (and on and on and on)

Feel the ardency here…

You can buy On and On via Bandcamp.

Crank-It-Up Thrills – Here’s Brand New Single ‘ON AND ON’ By Vancouver Rockers LOOSE FANG

Posted on by JL

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

15 October 2020

Band: LOOSE FANG

Who: Vancouver quartet who like it loud and are
not shy about the pop taste they just can’t shake.

What: A Loose Fang? It’s chill, but it’s got teeth.

Pick: ON AND ON – new single with key message: ‘while people can be fallible,
we don’t have to repeat the mistakes of the past if we stick to our beliefs. If we’re
too laissez faire, that just might happen.”

Video: The song’s clip was edited from full colour home videos of a family holidaying
in San Diego, filmed in the 1940s. It plays up a kind of Wonder Years-esque juxtaposition of image and music that seems nostalgic in a very warm way, while being at odds with all hell breaking loose overseas during that period.

Score: I’m sure you’ll agree that screwed-up times were and still are a fertile resource of inspiration for dazzling rock rippers. Just like this roaring roller going forth and back with a flaming ‘on and on’ chorus speeding up your pulse instantly. This messed-up world needs a change desperately and Loose Fang is determined to help a sonic hand with some crank-it-up thrills. Get up and make the right moves for a better get-together future, folks.

Right here…
