Official press release:
Albany-based up and comers Flatwounds — Colin O’Hare [vocals], Matt Degnan [guitar], David Granger [bass], and Wade Coonrad [drums] — are thrilled to announce their new EP Chain Of Command. It arrives March 20 via Blue Grape Music. Pre-order it here.
Today, the band, which deftly combines a DNA-distinct blend of hardcore and ’90s hard rock, shares the video for the new single “Emulator”.
Comprised of live footage, the video will grab you by the scruff of your neck and toss your front and center at a Flatwounds gig. The energy is captured perfectly and is palpable!
Watch it here:
O’Hare says:
“I’ve transitioned from talking about inner subjects to the exterior world. ‘Emulator’ is about not being who you actually are. You’re living life without any real meaning. There’s no substance. Instead, you’re the type of dude who works a job he doesn’t like, drives a car he doesn’t like, and complains about everything being awful. It’s because he’s not doing anything he loves.”
Regarding the EP a a whole, O’Hare explains:
“Chain of Command represents how we’ve evolved and matured as musicians. This is our sound. It’s a little weird, dissonant, melodic, and heavy when it needs to be. The title works because most of the songs are about apathy and a lack of action. There’s always a ‘chain of command’ in life, and it keeps you from doing what you want. It could be societal or in your head. You always have to answer to something, though.”
Chain of Command EP track listing:
- “Emulator”
