HonkMagazine

“Three-Chord Town” is a heartfelt song that tells a story about finding closure and discovering who we are. With years of life experiences woven into its lyrics and melody, Gerber shows that music is all about the stories we share.

The song is built on the simplicity of three chords and is filled with deep emotions. It beautifully captures the bittersweet journey of letting go while learning from our past. It is a powerful anthem of strength and a reminder of confronting our fears.

For Gerber, making music later in life comes with its own challenges, but it also offers a richness that only comes with experience. His path to creating this song has included moments of doubt and hesitation, yet with “Three-Chord Town,” he confidently steps into the spotlight. This is for anyone wondering if it’s too late to follow their dreams.

3RD BLO

“We Be Stuntin” is contagious, a bouncing, playful flow built on enjoying life and chasing dreams, even if you’re hated on. The track is personal as well, being the first collaboration with producer Blackdebiase, who is 3RD BLO’s blood cousin. That connection adds a layer of family connection behind the music and production to the release.

The electronic hip-hop/rap nature of the song reinforces its energetic approach, while the playful flow helps create its personality. The lyric “Foreign Whipping when we ride we be riding out” adds to the track’s confident movement, fitting the theme of going after what you want without letting negativity distract you. There is a definite sense of motion in the song, both in its music and in what it is saying.

“We Be Stuntin” is an anthem for living life on your own terms. 3RD BLO has an infectious bounce with a playful delivery, and the collaboration with Blackdebiase makes the song especially meaningful to the artist in his creative journey.

With “Almost Nothing,” NO IDENTITY embraces chaos, experimentation, and DIY sound

NO IDENTITY

NO IDENTITY adopts an industrial DIY approach with “Almost Nothing,” making it loud, chaotic, and impossible to ignore on purpose. NO IDENTITY is a solo artist who wrote, recorded, mixed, mastered, and did the music video, which gives the project a strong sense of personal control.

“Almost Nothing” leans into EDM and electronic textures but also pushes out to a stranger, harder edge. One of its more curious aspects is a simple clapping sound effect that is heavily processed into a bizarre, bass-like texture. The resulting sound is described as an electric bass in a septic tank, an image for the track’s deliberately unconventional design.

That strategy is also closely related to the emotional motivation behind the release. “Almost Nothing” and the album it’s from are born of mental illness and relationship anxiety. Those themes add context to the track’s chaotic presentation, implying that the odd sound and frenetic energy stem from the artist’s motivation to communicate something difficult in a simple, unfiltered way.

The accompanying music video is loud and strange, unlike anything else, just as the track doesn’t present itself conventionally. NO IDENTITY considers the visual identity and the music as part of a single creative statement. “Almost Nothing” finally separates itself by being completely devoted to its own design. NO IDENTITY’s openness to taking on all parts of the project makes this release a complete artistic experiment in its own right.
