BanzaiWag - Love On The Lam
Alternative/Alt.Rock, Rock, Songwriter
California, United States
Overall Impression: BanzaiWag has released their newest tune Love On The Lam. Grooving forward at a moderately slow pace, Love On The Lam has a signature BanzaiWag sound that fits comfortably in the world of Indie and Alternative Rock. Acoustic guitars power the tune, strumming up a foundation for the vocals to hover above. The lyrics tell the tale of a woman who is on the run after gunning down her abusive partner. Although he had it coming, this new life on the lam may not be all it is cracked up to be. A staple of BanzaiWag's sound, the echoey vocals lilt gently above the music with harmonizations in the chorus. They avoid intensity and have an approachable tone that leans toward the artful rather than bombastic. With the release of Love On The Lam, BanzaiWag further demonstrates their songwriting skills with colorful instrumentation and thoughtful lyrics.
Strongest Point(s): BanzaiWag have a unique sound. This sound is very present in Love On The Lam, but where the group seems to be stretching their creativity is in the lyrics. This tune has an interesting story and leaves just enough mystery for listeners to want more.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Indie and Alternative Rock will enjoy Love On The Lam by BanzaiWag.
