Brnocos Deliver An Anthemic Heavy Hitter
A thriving, high-energy new release from the Broncos pulls together elements of alternative, thrash, and even math to create something very unique. During those verses, you're getting such blistering approaches with outside-the-box guitar work that lends a hand to some of that mathy undertone and an assault of crew vocals that hit pretty hard.
Once the verses make way for that huge anthemic chorus, the style changes a little bit and becomes something bigger. It's bright and powerful, with impact, and breeding this almost vast alternative soundscape that becomes truly addicting before breaking back into those rambunctious verses once again.
One of my favorite things about this track in general is this massive and invasive sonic wall of drive and sound coming from the instruments. It's almost like a fuzz tone but heavier, and they managed to create such a gigantic wave of that during the choruses, especially.
Part of the reason some of these unique time signatures work so well is that the drummer is absolutely outstanding. The drumming on this track gives such a crazy life to the song itself and how it was arranged.
Everyone is literally feeding off of that drummer and this is something I find pretty common with bands that have different kinds of outside the box style time signatures here and there, think creatively end right inventively, and still have this heavy-handed and almost aggressive thrashy feel to them.
Throughout this song, normally just before that big chorus hits, there are these amazing vocals that happen. There are our layers of harmonies, and they feel almost smooth and soothing underneath all that heaviness.
You rarely hear a track able to blend such a heavy hand, edginess, heaviness, aggressive approach, and blend those metal undertones, and still have this unique approach to arrangement and changes, progression and performance.
The verses are so wild and fun, colorful but high impact and heavy, and the choruses are sing-alongs. You want to sing along with those choruses every single time you hear that. This is part of why I consider them to be pretty anthemic.
So, I'm definitely getting classic late 90s early 2000s underground heavy rock music vibes from this track pretty often. Sometimes it reminds me of bands like Deftones, for example. The riffs themselves can bring that out. There's a riff at the end of the song that makes me think of that aesthetic, and they've really managed to capture that along with the slew of others and create something that's their own.
All in all, this is a track and a band that absolutely thinks outside the box. They are not following or conforming to any kind of normal setting in terms of suitable genres, and the track showcases such an amazing knack for catchy songwriting and such a heavy atmosphere.
It certainly has been quite some time since I have listened to something that lends a hand to so many different heavy rock tonalities in one shot, but this track actually does.
There's a lot of different vocals happening throughout the track and again, during the verses, they are more hard-hitting. They're heavier, almost like hardcore vocals or crew punk vocals. There are layers of screaming and then melodic ones underneath those.
Behind those at certain points again, there are these almost beautiful vocal harmonies that are smoother and there to create a full-bodied sort of backing that builds into that big chorus, and it works like a charm.
Of course, during the course is when the vocals are at their most powerful in terms of giving you sing-along hooks and memorable sections that bounce around in your head for hours after the song is ended.
This was a really amazing banger of a heavy rock single that bends genres and heavy music in a brilliant and slightly different way while keeping in mind arrangement and digging choruses into your brain so that you're singing them in your head the next day.
All of this while still remaining super heavy, up and aggressive, definitely edgy, and having something to say.
Check this one out as soon as you can because, like I mentioned earlier, this is a powerhouse of a track that you don't want to miss.
