Leaving While You Stay has some fire guitar work starting things off. The taut instrumentation that represents the backdrop for the supersonic vocals make for a composition that will stick with listeners long after the song ceases to play. Nods to Jane’s Addiction, Soundgarden, and Queens of the Stone Age can be heard here. Hard rock has never been so catchy. Greg Hoy exudes charisma in this single, bringing forth a sort of braggadocio that is matched nicely with the bass, guitars, and drums. The song ends as emphatically as it began, leaving listeners wanting more at the 2:30 mark.
We previously covered Grey Hoy’s Green earlier in 2020.
