Rough Minds’s “Songs Out Loud” has an ample amount of fuzz present from the onset. The track really feels at home in the mid-1990s alternative rock scene. The catchy chorus and killer guitar licks take in a hint of Weezer, but there’s even some Boston and Cheap Trick to really moor the band’s influence into an earlier tradition. Songs Out Loud is a fantastic track that will have listeners’ toes tapping along as Rough Minds continue to plumb AOR and power-pop styles in the song’s second half. Utterly timeless in its execution, we’re stoked to hear more from the act in the months and years toc ome.
