SPÜNDAY – While My Guitar Gently Beeps (Track Review)

As you can guess from the title, the track is a guitar driven anthem with inspiration from Punk Rock, Metal, Industrial, Post-Punk and other related genres. Guitar, as the main weapon of the composer in this song, is being explored from a variety of perspectives and technical approaches, leading to an Experimental Rock result. The vocals are shared between real voices and samples that add elements of irony, fun, and social awareness to this track due to the collective social criticism that all these samples target. Regarding music inspiration, I would mention the band Ministry, mainly due to the Industrial Rock atmosphere of the song and the heavy usage of the samples. However, I have to add that the band’s sound is unique due to the smart orchestration that takes the listener through so many music genres and moods. On the production level, I think that there is still some work to be done on the audio mix to ease the transition from one music genre to the other. Overall, I am really satisfied by this track because I feel that it escapes from the norms of Industrial Rock and becomes an innovative experimentation with attitude and personal style.
