SINGLE REVIEW: THE ROADSIDE BANDITS PROJECT “WASTELANDS”
A lonely soul riding down a lonesome road at sunset. Leaving everything behind or heading towards an inevitable future. Those big feelings are brewing in the air. Looking at the horizon and lighting up another cigarette, when guitar speaks louder than words.
“Wastelands” has the classic sound of last century’s drunken, mellow rock n roll with a touch of modern dream pop. Stemmed from the blues, the rock aesthetic always has a dark, tragic twist on the back of its story: wistful, introspective, and truthful but always heartening.
The Roadside Bandits Project traces down the lost sounds, walking down the history of rhythm & blues, hat off to those before us. Eventually, they sit back down at the crossroad where the two were one, to begin with.
You can’t pinpoint the blues by a heavy southern accent or a specific sound, but it’s there and everywhere. It’s an impression, a feeling, and a memory subtly telling the story behind the sliding atonal expression.
