For those who have ever needed a soundtrack to embrace the burden of toxic relationships and cast them aside, look no further than "Excuses", the fierce new single from rising rockers Rose Cora Perry & The Truth Untold. With its brash punk bite and arena-rock abandon, this song speaks truth to power and howls it through a distortion pedal at maximum volume.
Driven by the indefatigable Rose Cora Perry, "Excuses" is about more than just a breakup. It's a war cry from a woman who has had it with the apologies, with the gaslighting, with the playing nice. Culling from the punky, raw edges of grunge, the rebel yell of riot grrrl and pop-punk's hook-centric sucker punch, the band peddles a sound that's both cathartic and commanding.
The theme of "Excuses" is very personal. After splitting with a previous musical partner, Perry soared. The Truth Untold had a new member in days, and their summer tour proceeded as if nothing had ever happened. And the song is a blistering testament to that resolve.
"Excuses" is unafraid to combine ferocity with melody, grit with vulnerability. It's loud, it's liberated and, most crucially, it's honest. Rose Cora Perry is the face of a movement. A kind who screams, shreds, stomps on every excuse that ever stopped anybody. So crank it up. Let those rationalizations go up in flames and let The Truth Untold remind you of what unapologetic rock sounds like.
