I recently featured I Don’t Feel It from Fred Argir’s new album Still Alive. Today we are going to focus on the entire album; now available on your favorite streaming platform. (The previous feature can be found here.)
Continuing in the vein of the I Don’t Feel It single, Still Alive packs a punch with 14 songs of no-holds-barred, unapologetic, electrifying guitar-driven rock music.
Whether jamming along to more up-tempo tracks like The World Isn’t Round or slowing it down with more ballad-esque tracks like I Don’t Feel It or Catch When You Fall, there is no denying Argir’s proficiency on guitar. Each track comes equipped with emotive, electric guitar leads which will be warmly welcomed by guitar enthusiasts and those who simply enjoy listening to a guitarist show off his skills.
As we continue working our way through the album, songs like The Meditation Song and Krishna Is Crying remind us that rock and roll can be just as rock and roll when it’s slower and more melancholic; it doesn’t always have to be overly loud and in-your-face to make you feel it!
Too Tired To Fight and Preachers In The Square hit us with potent melodies and powerful vocal performances.
The title track, Still Alive, will grab you and keep you engaged with an electrifying wall of sound, arena-sized sounding drums and an over-the-top aesthetic that makes this track really stand out.
As we continue through the final stretch of the album, Asylum of the Human Resistance, The End, Burn The Bridges Down, Everybody Should Know, Days Keep Turning and Two Moons continue our rock and roll journey with more melodically rich, electrifying soundscapes.
For rock and roll lovers who enjoy their walls of sounds a tad more mellow but still packed with soaring solos and a whole lot of love, Still Alive should be the next addition to your indie music collection.
