Reetoxa's new single, "Humbug," captures the chaos, charm, and vulnerability of modern dating by putting it in a loud, '70s-style way. Jason McKee wrote the song after he made a mistake on the guitar. It captures the messy beauty of love, rejection, and hope in a way that feels both timeless and new.
The song "Humbug" is just as raw as its origins. During his practice of scales in the studio, McKee discovered a riff so potent that it halted him abruptly.. The song came out in just a few minutes, shaped by his experiences with the ups and downs of dating in the modern world. The recording has a spark of authenticity that makes "Humbug" feel alive and lends it a sense of urgency.
The song has many old-school sounds but still sounds modern. James Ryan's guitar playing takes McKee's original riff to new heights, flying through space before crashing back down into tight, grounded rhythms. The drums and bass make a strong base for the song, locking into a groove that keeps it moving and provides it a punchy sound. It's a sound that works well with both comfortable headphones and the sweaty atmosphere of a live show.
McKee's lyrics and voice show a mix of wanting and defiance. His delivery is raw and heartfelt, and it offers hope that he will attain happiness again, even after all the adverse things that have happened to him. He tells the story in a way that is undeniably sincere, and when you add in the band's explosive instrumentation, you receive a song that feels both personal and ready for the stadium.
Reetoxa shows that they can turn weakness into strength and pain into art. It proudly shows off its influences while making its own path, mixing classic rock energy with a deeply personal story. "Humbug" is a bold, emotional, and gritty song that shows that Reetoxa is a band to keep an eye on.
