…See You In The Midday Sun…
Detonating with effect of a hydrogen bomb through the speaker wires, Rebel Run, the new single from Jay Tennant, shatters the calm and pierces the atmosphere from the opening electro riff. This is the ride Mr. Tennant is taking you on, backed by a pounding drum line that never lets up and never lets you go. It’s a ride laced with love, passion and rage, straight into the heart our dystopian post-modern world.
Recognized I believe as an archetype of indie noir, Jay Tennant exists musically inside the ethereal emotions of darkness and romance, set upon an ever grittier, furious urban landscape. And against those frantic, heart racing drums, the anthem explodes. Jay’s lyrics evoke the silver screen and finds “the passion in your eyes“, while the heart quickens with images of rebellion and “bullets in the night.“
From the verse to the bridge to the chorus, Rebel Run continues it’s explosive pace, underpinning Jay’s howling, moody vocal. And in the mix of the vocal, radiating guitar riffs, the furious drum line and electro synth vibes, the track sets your head spinning, and returns you to the same thumping starting point.
Jay is truly a master at crafting the musical with the inner visual. The frenzied pace of Rebel Run is equally balanced by the lyrical hero, “feelin like Jim Morrison and lookin like God’s only son”. We are all dreaming of becoming that hero and breaking down the walls of our own existence, even if it’s only Saturday night. But be careful, amidst all that flailing abandon the power is out there in the night and “they’ll tear you apart”.
