The Fear – WHITE NOISE (ft Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens)
“WHITE NOISE” is The Fear’s single, featuring Kellin Quinn from Sleeping with Sirens on strong vocals. Drummer Benj Ashmead describes the song as a look of the void that each band member felt after leaving music, transforming that loneliness and a separation into a high-energy hard rock. From the beginning, the tune establishes itself with a contemporary production style that combines the power of hard rock with elements of dance music, providing it a distinct edge. The heavily layered synth lines and high-energy percussion create a danceable groove, even as strong guitar riffs keep it firmly in the rock genre. The lyrics of “WHITE NOISE” negotiate a raw environment of anxiety and struggle, with lines like “I scream, but the silence makes me choke” and “Come and take me home, I’m out here on my own” expressing an intense, almost claustrophobic sadness. The chorus, which repeats the phrase “White Noise,” acts as a disturbing symbol for the mental static and parts of previous sorrow that refuse to go away. With its strong guitars, vibrating synthesizers, and mindful lyrics, “WHITE NOISE” is a striking debut that is both aggressive and therapeutic.
