ReeToxA electrifies with love and sound in “Humbug”
Rock has a wild romantic revival in ReeToxA’s new track “Humbug,” which smashes together the swagger of the ’70s and all the dating moments that happen on planet now. Written by frontman Jason McKee, the song began with a beautiful accident, a slip of the fingers on a minor pentatonic scale during a rehearsal session. From the fumbled note emerged a riff so striking that it inspired the need for a story, and what followed was a love song born from hope, frustration, and heartbreak.
Written during a crush he had on a fellow musician who didn’t reciprocate his feelings, Jason managed to express the sweet and gritty pain of unrequited love with screeching guitars and raw purity. Guitarist James Ryan grabs that opening riff and fires it into the stratosphere as a soaring, fiery moment that sounds both familiar and fresh. The drums and bass keep everything anchored, moving with muscle and groove, while Jason’s voice burns with the hopeful ache of someone still searching for a happy ending.
“Humbug” has already been warmly received by live audiences, and it’s not hard to see why. Its energy is reckless in its joy, a reminder that even heartbreak can sound glorious when paired with the right riff. With its bursts of guitar, indelible rhythm, and blunt emotional honesty, “Humbug” is proof that real songs about real feelings will never go out of style.
