Sons Of Racketeers have an infectious mix of folk and rock with their latest single, "Beat The Press Gang," which features on their new album "New Lands." This is a spirited number that fuses folky openings with rocking surges, and a journey to surprise and delight at every twist.
Woven from tales of the Old English Navy's Military Party, it meditates on the eternal push-and-pull between personal freedom and societal duty. However, it resonates with the conflicts of today and the way in which young people are thrust into circumstances over which they have no control. The story is gripping, but it's the music's vibration that really brings these stories to life.
The song develops with slickness and ease, always one step ahead to keep you on edge and engaged. The unpredictable variety of textures and exciting instrumental innovations makes every listen feel strikingly current and cinematic in nature.
"Beat The Press Gang" is marked for its historical perspective, but also connects past and present with lively soundscapes. Sons Of Racketeers brings us an example of folk rock that's both intellectually stimulating and viscerally pleasurable, providing a track that rocks the body, taxes the brain, and hits your heart. It's also the boldest, most exciting thing they've done in a decade.
