With The electrifying new single “Lone Wolf” Social Gravy is ready to grab you by the collar and get you ready to embrace the raw, unfiltered spirit of rock. Two fierce indie rockers from Los Angeles emerge from a four year hiatus and aren’t holding back.From the opening riffs you have to grab onto every fiber of your collar with ‘Lone Wolf’s’ gritty, high-octane energy. The beautiful thing about the driving guitar work is that it’s dynamic, elastic and swaggering. It’s the kind of stuff that you’d want to go hop in your car and crank up as you blast down the highway. The thunderous drums give the tune a perfect rhythmic backbone which drives the song forward with an unstoppable momentum.
The vocal delivery, though, makes it. No, Brad Kohn’s powerful, emotive pipes layer a depth and intensity to that quintessential lone wolf spirit, part longing, part self assured independence. He has this beautiful raw, soulful voice that just bled authenticity. Short and bittersweet at just 2 minutes, “Lone Wolf” doesn’t hold back on delivering passion and grit, and you can feel all of it. It finagles its way in, pumps out its cargo of fuzzed out riffs and cathartic vocals, and in before you can take a breath. That is the icing on the cake, it is that tart, fiery guitar solo, an enticing burst of pure, unadulterated shredding.
For Social Gravy fans of a long time, the arrival of “Lone Wolf” is a breath of fresh air after years of hoping. It’s one hell of an introduction for new listeners to the duo’s masterful combination of heaviness and hook heavy melodies.In an age where so much rock seems overproduced and sterilized, Social Gravy is defiantly doubling down on the grit and passion of “Lone Wolf.” It’s a perfect example of how they’re able to combine raw, riff heavy anthems with an immediate heart and soul. The lone wolves have returned and they’re hungrier than ever, and rock fans everywhere would be wise to sit up and take notice.
