Has there ever been a song so clearly designed to whip a concert crowd into a frenzy? This is the title track from the band's upcoming sixth studio album. Florence Welch is known for her near-manic live performances, dancing wildly around the stage, and in this song she acknowledges both the rush she gets from her audiences and the toll it takes on her: "Look at me run myself ragged, blood on the stage / But how can I leave you when you’re screaming my name?" Compare: "It's Only Rock & Roll (But I Like It)"
Surprise! Just four months after April's
Everything Must Go, the jammers from Connecticut released another album,
Chain Your Dragon, in August. The band has played most of its 12 songs live over the years, but this is a new number, which the band says is about "a transient musician whose burning ambition threatens to get the best of him.”
It's good to see this LA indie band getting more recognition - including East Coast tour dates in September. This new single features additional guitar work by Cory Wong. The group's firecracker lead vocalist, Soraya Sebghati, sings of trying to shake feelings of paranoia: "I've got a target on my back ... It's not real you said / It's in my head."

Remember: Nothing has been proven more effective against Music Boredom than Birch Street Radio. It's unsurpassed! Use only as directed. Possible side effects include altering your mood, distracting you from what you should be doing, and causing flashbacks to the first time you heard that song.
