Clips that will have an impact on your eyes and your ears…

14 May 2018

Previously a power duo, Canadian rockers THE TOWN HEROES became a quartet and are about to launch – on 10 August – their fourth album with probably this year’s weirdest LP title: “EVERYTHING (will be fine when we get to where we think we’re going)’. Ahead
of it the band just dropped new single POETS. Here’s frontman Mike Ryan: “This is what I think is the catchiest song on the album. Drum and bass driven and loaded with ear candy on top. The simplicity of the parts bring it to life. Musically, it’s got a danceable, fun vibe while the vocals are kind of sitting on top yearning for something when you focus in. Lyrically it’s about how to face something on your own, when things fall apart”

‘Poets‘ is a first-rate pop creation, a melodic beauty, a momentous highlight with Mike Ryan‘s wonderful voice in the middle of the dreamy orchestration. After a couple of
spins, you’ll definitely be hooked on this arresting humdinger. The delightful little
pearl will play itself over and over again in your thankful head. Here’s the hilarious,
messy clip…

PICK OF THE DAY – Here Are THE TOWN HEROES With Mixed Emotions On New Single ‘ONLY ONE’…

Posted on by JL

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

20 March 2018

Previously a power duo, Canadian rockers THE TOWN HEROES are a quartet now, with new single ONLY ONE as the first group’s effort. Co-founder Mike Ryan is excited about the musical recruits and the new track: “We wanted to give ourselves the opportunity to create without limitations in the studio or live – It opens up an entirely different world for us. We can take a song in any direction and let it become what it’s supposed to. ‘Only One’ is a song about finding something you need in your life and not letting go of it. Sometimes it takes a while to recognize the things that make us better people, but when we do see them, we have to make sure to latch on.”

ONLY ONE feels like a mixed emotions experience and moves like a sensitive rollercoaster, up and down, with notable guitar sequences swinging from reflective to jubilant and back. You get the same emo metamorphosis with the remarkable vocals. Overall this new cut excels in its adventurous structure and enthralling arrangements. Absorbing score. Here’s the accompanying no-nonsense clip…
