Max Rauch turns anxiety into an anthem on new release "Alligators and Sharks"

Max Rauch's comes out with new release, "Alligators and Sharks." With buoyant melodies and seriously introspective subject matter, the song draws on the emotional immediacy of early-2000s emo and the hooky sensibilities of '90s alternative rock. The metaphor of imagined dangers is more powerful than the reality, giving the song an emotional edge without slowing its energetic pace. Max Rauch captures the exhausting cycle of overthinking and still makes something extremely catchy and easy to sing along to. The bright guitars and driving rhythm may be the most obvious elements, but there's a vulnerable honesty underneath that gives "Alligators and Sharks" real staying power.
