MisSpent - One Way Road
Rock, Hard Rock
Massachusetts, U.S.
Overall Impression: "One Way Road" is a supercharged new release from the Massachusetts-based rock band MisSpent. This track is marked by its uncompromising style that blends elements of glam, grunge, and heavy metal, resulting in an aggressive, hi-octane sound that's pure rock'n'roll jet fuel. Throaty and assertive female vocals convey themes of exclusion and exile, highlighted by a catchy chorus hook while backed by galloping guitars and ferocious drumming. True rock fans of all types will revel in the frenetic energy, rebellious spirit and raw emotion of MisSpent's "One Way Road."
Strongest Point(s): Outstanding production and a great sounding mix, particularly at high volume. Fantastic energy throughout. Nice staging in the intro. Excellent hard rock gallop groove and riff, rhythm section its locked in tight. Nice melodic bass lines. Drums sound great, cutting through the mix nicely. Guitar solo at the outro sounds terrific. Awesome vocal performance, exceptional passion and fortitude. Chorus hook has a wonderful classic hard rock feel to it. Lyrics have superb flow and paint a clear picture, should absolutely resonate with rock audiences. Tremendously strong track all around, extremely well-executed with an authentic, in-your-face sound that just can't be faked. Stellar job on this tune, from top to bottom!
