Out of Philadelphia, the raw force known as Rearview Romantics slashed through the rock scene with their stormer of a single, ‘The Preacher’.
The unapologetic throwback to the 60s – 80s rock epochs erupts with crunchy, overdriven guitar riffs that could summon spirits from rock’s golden age. The vocals carve a niche between Metallica’s gritty resonance, the anthemics of New York Dolls and The Cramps’ punk eccentric ferocity, creating an uncompromising voice for the band. The production crackles with an electric fervour, each note and beat engineered to grip your soul and shake it awake.
The manifesto of rebellion dictates a relentless pace that dares listeners to keep up. As a rock anthem, the track ticks all the boxes, bridging the gap between classic sensibilities and potently explosive energy.
With their larger-than-life live shows marked by magnetic stage presence, Rearview Romantics are quickly becoming the act to watch. Coupled with a consistent stream of videos and tracks, the rock n roll reverent renegades are proving they’re destined for bigger stages.
The Preacher was officially released on September 26th; stream the single on YouTube now.
