Tight Collars – Black Day
Tight Collars’ “Black Day” begins with a groovy funk-rock style, with the bass taking center stage, putting down a rough groove. The orchestration is in the style of 2000s alternative rock, with rapid riffs combined with a rebellious spirit that keeps the energy level high. The vocals are raw and authentic, with a tough, no-frills cutting-edge which leads to the song’s rebel attitude. The chorus, with its anthemic passion, creates an aura of rush, making it hard not to become caught up in the motion. The bass-heavy mix may divide listeners—it’s either an aspect that draws you in or draws you away—but there’s no questioning its role in establishing the song’s character. At 2:10, the tune takes an unexpected direction as screamo-style vocals join the mix, bringing the energy to full headbanging level. This surprise boom of aggression is a highlight, establishing an almost post-hardcore mindset before the song smoothly returns to its alt-rock groove. “Black Day” is a track that refuses to stay still, combining funk-inspired rock with a raw, wild energy. Whether you’re looking for grooves or chaos, Tight Collars is a ride worth taking.
