Better Off – Unreal

Better Off – Unreal

Better Off – Unreal is an incredible record that shows the power of a big-time record. With music being as subjective as it’s ever been, he brings an ultra level of talent to bring people together, to enjoy this one amazing record that you can’t go without. If you love good music, then you will love everything about this new mega jam.

Better Off’s second latest single in two years, “Unreal,” premiered today. Formed in 2010, Better Off has been wildly active as a touring act and in the studio, logging three LPs and a debut EP. They have taken the past couple of years to take a step back and reimagine the musicians they want to be. “By slowing down and taking our time to reflect and truly articulate our thoughts and feelings, It made me a better songwriter and rethink my own process,” recalls frontman Luke Garnered. With “Unreal” the band believes they have accomplished precisely that.

The Nashville band’s new effort represents a huge leap forward– from the opening notes, It’s hard to imagine a crew more focused, melodic, and searing, Conjuring golden era indie, classic punk, alternative, pop, and emo references that rely on big guitars and even bigger hooks, the band confidently delivers melodic hook after melodic hook.

“Unreal” may be their second single out in two years, but the band has no plans to slow down.

More music is set to be released soon.

Album Review

Block turns heartbreak into light on “Love Crash,” a raw journey through survival

Block

Block’s sixth studio album, “Love Crash,” is a 10-track rock record that takes a human, quietly hopeful approach to heartbreak. Illuminated by openness, humor, and a surprising sense of joy, the album is a 32-minute, 45-second journey through grief, reflection, and emotional recovery.

With the first track, “I Thought I Won The War,” Block sets a tone of emotional ambiguity where wins are dubious, and wars within are still raging. “California Calls” wants to be far away, wants to go away, but memory tugs the other way. “Over And Over” is about cycles of emotion that keep repeating, even when you want to move on. “Firefly” offers a softer light, pointing to fragile hope in emotional weight.

“All In My Head” explores the inner turmoil of the mind, which is louder than the world outside. “Song To Jamie” feels like a letter written from regret and memory. “The Heartbreak Song” is a total embrace of emotional collapse, but it’s structured and honest. “Carly Says” is about the voices outside that inform the decisions inside. “No One Ever Taught Me How” emphasizes the lack of emotional experience and difficulty in dealing with emotions. “Still Life” ends on a quiet note of pause, as if everything has been dealt with but not forgotten.

The album was written from a dark place, and each song was a step to emotional healing. Produced by Chris Kuffner, with final mixing and mastering by ECR President Blake Morgan, “Love Crash” is a patchwork of imperfect moments, sewn together with honesty, of an artist processing pain while still reaching for the light.
