After a year off, The Raspberry Jams are back with a two-track release called "Tired Of / Draw the Line." This confirms their place as one of the most introspective voices in modern indie punk. The band mixes the urgency of punk with the complexity of melodic art-rock to make a release that is both raw and introspective.
"Tired Of," which the band recorded themselves, is a perfect example of DIY authenticity, while "Draw the Line," their first studio recording with engineer Slavic Livins and producer Chris Schneider, makes their sound more precise and more powerful. The Raspberry Jams transform their anger into a deeply human sound that resonates with people who are tired of following the rules or are dissatisfied with what society expects of them.
They are inspired by the current political climate and their everyday problems. "Tired Of" sums up the tiredness that comes from constantly having to meet society's expectations, which is the pressure to fit in. "Draw the Line" responds with defiance, a subtle way of asserting one's power that doesn't preach. These songs encourage people to feel, think, and speak out for themselves.
The band strikes the perfect balance between punk roughness and indie polish. It is music that embodies resistance while harmonising in melody, jagged facets refined by authenticity. "Tired Of / Draw the Line" is about recognising where you stand and having the guts to stand up for it. The Raspberry Jams have made their point clear, and it has a lot of energy.
