Indie-rock band Spray Paint is producing music and launching missiles. Rounded out by four friends united by their desire for excitement and heart-racing rock music, their newest single, "Sometimes," is a high-octane anthem for let-downs, disillusionments, and time spent in the hamster wheel life.
Production of fussy driving bass creates the framework of an exhilarating ride as distorted guitars crash in like foamy waves against the shoreline of monotony. The song's frenzied propulsion matches the sensation of being trapped, but the cathartic thrust of the music is a release, an interruption, a rupture.
"Sometimes" addresses the loneliness, the paralysis, and the burden of dark days. Instead, the song fights back relentlessly rather than slip into hopelessness. That tension is the weight of the words, but the almost violent momentum of the instrumentation turns this into a garage-rock gut punch with a cause.
"Sometimes," there is no way to listen to it while seated, whether through a foot move, a head nod, or a mosh pit. Takeaways spun frustration and anger into energy, feeling that music can be the ultimate escape even in the heaviest moments. So turn it up, let it take control, and escape, if only for three minutes of pure, uncut rock.
