Zoe Roarz's newest single, "Slam Dance Romance," blares through the speakers like a riot of the heart, a love song for the punks that punches as hard as it hugs. From the growling, gritty, distorted bass line that rumbles beneath a sweet, aching vocal line, the song is a master class of musical contrasts:
"Slam Dance Romance" is challenging and tender, like leather and lace or a love note on the back of a concert flyer. Roarz knows how to balance rebellion and vulnerability in the same breath; this track feels like falling in love in the middle of a mosh pit, chaotic, thrilling, and unexpectedly gutsy.
Mitski, Veruca Salt, and Destroy Boys fans will be at home here, but "Slam Dance Romance" finds its gritty niche. The song roils with raw energy but never forgets its emotional center. Roarz's vocals drift aloft the crunch of distorted chords, the lyrics daring and tender in equal measure.
"Slam Dance Romance" is a song for those who've ever watched their hearts race faster than the drums at a punk show. In "Slam Dance Romance," Zoe Roarz explains how even the toughest nuts have a soft, beating heart inside them, and sometimes love is best turned up.
