Pork Pie – City Lights

2 min read

Pork Pie, the seasoned quartet consisting of Peter Laverty (Lead Guitar), Shane Brett (Drums), Michael Laverty (Bass), and Michael Stafford (Guitar, Keyboards, and Vocals), makes a triumphant return with their latest track, “City Lights.” Reuniting their original lineup, the band brings a wealth of experience and camaraderie to the table, evident in the tight and cohesive sound they deliver. “City Lights” stands as an Alternative Rock masterpiece that draws inspiration from the likes of the Black Keys. The track exudes a dynamic energy, propelled by infectious guitar solos and an overall positive attitude. The fusion of psychedelic, funk, rock, and heavy soul elements creates a sound that is both distinctive and danceable. The groove of “City Lights” is accentuated by the catchy production, making it undeniably radio-friendly. The lyrics of “City Lights” weave a narrative of change, resilience, and the ever-present cityscape. The poetic lines paint a vivid picture of urban life, with references to the ebb and flow of emotions beneath the city lights. The imagery of sitting on the jagged edge, alongside eagles and crows, adds depth to the lyrical narrative. Pork Pie encourages the listener to embrace life’s challenges, urging them to crawl until they reach the total apex of their existence. The recurring motif of city lights falling on the protagonist becomes a metaphor for the struggles and triumphs encountered along life’s journey. With its infectious groove, skillful instrumentation, and evocative lyrics, this track solidifies Pork Pie’s status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of contemporary psychedelic rock.
