Today’s list of LITM Rock Picks has for you tracks that range from the 90s pop-punk scene to powerful sports anthems, all stemming from the rock genre – a genre that will never get old. The list features artists Adrian Delange, My Glass World, and Alternative Influence.
Adrian Delange - Don’t Wanna Be Who I Am Anymore
Within moments of listening to ‘Don’t Wanna Be Who I Am Anymore’ by Adrian Delange, you will be taken back to the late 90s and early 2000s angsty pop-punk music scene. The song features carefully decided guitar riffs, intelligent drumming that truly adds to what the song is trying to achieve with the genre. The song can be compared to the works of Simple Plan and even the earlier works of 5 Seconds of Summer, due to its pop-punk musicality. Holding ideas of the never old idea of wanting to change oneself and being unable to do so due to circumstances, the song has the potential to be an anthem for young adults. “I get the idea, face your fears, but it’s giving me stress,” is something we can all relate to as we try to step out of our comfort zones.
My Glass World - A Pale Horse
With a unique use of instrumentation, ‘A Pale Horse’ by My Glass World is an experimental piece in the best possible way. A funkish musical arrangement with the incorporation of jazz to explore themes of the Bible in relation to the current world is something applause worthy. The Second Coming from the Bible is consistently talked about in regards to the world.The song is one that needs to be carefully listened to in order to uncover the deeper meanings of the lyrics. The interesting use of organ, simple drums, and a strong bassline, adds to the uniqueness of the song.
Alternative Influence - Time 4 Her to Shine
‘Time 4 Her to Shine’ by Alternative Influence deserves its place among the many sports anthems through the ages. A feminist anthem, the lyrics are written in a way that will rouse anyone listening to it. “Got a choice while we're here/ Of choosing Love or choosing fear/ Embracing All , Reject the Hate/ To be the Best” The moment it starts out you can feel a resemblance in its music to The Red Hot Chilli Peppers due to its impactful drumming, which is the star of the entire instrumentation incorporated in the song. It won’t be a surprise if we hear this being played at sports events all over because it really is that powerful.
