Kevin DeHart on drums, Steve Dicks handling guitar and bass duties, Roger Hughes on guitar and vocals, and Michael Starks lending his vocals and keyboard skills, reunite fresh from the release of "Lite Bright Sky" to present their latest offering, "Loaded." From the opening moments, it's evident that this track is a sonic tapestry.
Clocking in at around 90 BPM, "Loaded" unveils a lush soundscape adorned with clean guitars, delicately played drum beats, and a robust bass foundation. Despite its brevity, spanning a mere two and a half minutes, the song maintains a consistent dynamic, a choice that seamlessly aligns with the weighty subject matter at hand. As Michael Starks delivers poignant lyrics, singing, "So many guns are loaded, do they point at you? We'll give you thoughts and prayers, maybe a tear or two. Just another news flash, same as yesterday. Hard to believe what's out there, such a price to pay." The lyrical content delves into the pressing issue of mass shootings in the United States, capturing the essence of a societal problem that demands attention. "Loaded" not only boasts aesthetic appeal but also serves as a thought-provoking piece of art, successfully engaging listeners in reflection on the challenging realities of our time. In a world grappling with the gravity of such issues, this track hits the bullseye, showcasing the band's ability to fuse musical craftsmanship with social commentary. "Loaded" is a testament to the power of art to prompt contemplation and discussion.
