This edition of LITM Rock Picks captures both optimism for life and deeply vulnerable moments, mirroring the duality of life. The list features artists Whooligans, Brett L Walker, and Love Ghost.
Whooligans - Get Loose
With catchy riffs that stay with you long after the last second, ‘Get Loose’ by Whooligans is steeped in a solid 90s Britpop energy. Lively, fun, vibrant, the song is sure to pull you out of any gloom that you might be feeling. Urging you to go interact with life at its fullest, the song feels like having the car roof down and driving along the coast with the salt breeze in your hair. Think Oasis with their stadium ready anthems, because this song is strongly reminiscent of that iconic energy. If you wish to start your day with a burst of feel-good energy, then listening to this song first thing in the morning is what you should be doing.
Brett L Walker - Best Redneck Life
A musical gratitude for all the little joys and moments in life that make up a huge part of who we are as people, ‘Best Redneck Life’ by Brett L Walker is a bright country rock ode to our simple everydays. Painting a picture of a quiet, joyful life in the American South, the song will fill you with nostalgia for what is your version of the “best redneck life.” The song with its sunshine washed instrumentation might remind you of Lynyrd Skynyrd bright sounding records. Holding every possibility of becoming your next favourite track, this song with its energy and musical brilliance will have you coming for many listens.
Love Ghost - Spirit Box
Weaving a vulnerable desire into an intensely cathartic song, ‘Spirit Box’ by Love Ghost recounts those moments where we desperately wish to reach out into the void to talk to the ones that we lost to the inevitability of death. Putting to words a very difficult emotion, the song does brilliantly in doing justice to such a raw aspect of being human. The song starts out gently and then swells into a cathartic alt-rock energy with gritty, emotive guitars and equally emotive vocals. The song will make us all feel seen with regards to things we often think about but don’t really talk about.
