Red Grace – The Time

Fuelled by sultry grooves and old-school rock n’ roll, Edmonton’s Red Grace is dropping their latest single “The Time.” The track was created as the opening theme song for an independent podcast called “A STO Life: Shutdowns, Turnarounds and Outages,” a show highlighting the “underdogs” in society amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The message of the hard rock tune is simply “Time is a constant so don’t waste it” and reinvigorates the golden rule, do unto others as… you know the rest.

The track rips with its live-off-the-floor punk rock recording style, utilizing face-melting riffs, a bit of slide guitar, rhythmic bass, and warpath drumming. Red Grace also throws in some three-part vocal harmonies to make the track feel huge. It’s a song for partying but also realizing you have to make the most out of life.

“Life passes us by in the blink of an eye and you want your time remembered as a positive contribution to the world,” Red Grace says of the message of the song.

Red Grace takes its name from the feeling of every one of their tracks—loud and abrasive (with the recordings usually peaking at the red) but also having moments of sweet graceful reprieve. Each member has been playing in various projects since high school, but always finds a way to make music together. Red Grace is a more recent collaboration after the group’s past band, Ravensword called it quits.

The members of Red Grace like to keep it fresh and strive to release a new rock n’ roll offering every few months, so keep your ears and eyes peeled.

Noah Zayden releases a new single “Fuego”

Fuego

With “Fuego,” Zayden turns the tables. It’s still personal, still vulnerable, but this time the narrative moves toward hope. Inspired by the realness of heartbreak and the fear of love lost, Fuego is like watching emotional armor slowly melt. The beat is subdued but warm, and his vocal delivery has a fragility that makes every line sound confessional.

It’s not only how to fall in love, it’s also how to learn to trust again after being burned. There’s something beautiful about that vulnerability, something powerful about electing to jump anyway. “Fuego” just speaks the truth. And in its simplicity, it glows bright.
