From Boston, MA, Heavy AmericA’s rampaging new single Chase The Sun is causing a stir, and we can’t wait to spread the hype for this hard rock banger. Formed of vocalist and guitarist, Michael T Seguin, drummer Dan Fried, and bass guitarist Budd Lapham, Chase The Sun follows the rock trio’s Maytime single, “Paper Hearts.”
Chase The Sun threads the classic sounds of hard rock and old school metal into one fresh yet absolutely nostalgic force, before decyaing into a ballad-like middle-8 and an explosive, bass-driven outro that feels like an unearthed Judas Priest hit.
This single dropped just in time for Halloween, its cut-throat energy swirled with Southern rock vibes, its richly layered grooves like a heavy blanket perfect for melting away the coming winter cold.
Jagged riffs surge with punk-like energy, crowned with melodies styled like a welcome blast from the past; whilst fiery lyrics capture a desperate drive to escape, unstagnated, from L.A. and through the states, chasing experience after experience, both in beauty and futility.
Also, there’s a cat in the music video. It could hardly get any better.
Our verdict: Highly recommended
