Make sure you play this one in a safe zone because it is loud! Yep, we’re talking about the hard rock track “Insomniacs” by Nashville-based The Hungry & Dangerous.
We’ve previously delved deep into its accompanying self-titled album in an older review that was released last year, and we’re ready to dissect the song on a standalone basis. “Pushing their sound boundaries more into a more groovy sound while maintaining their heaviness comes Insomniacs. It has a groovy dynamic structure with a really cool bassline, a shredding guitar hero solo, and a super cool sing-along engaging section,” is a snippet of what was mentioned previously about the song.
But with a fresh listen, there’s an undeniable appeal to “Insomniacs”. Ranging from the electrifying guitar solo, to frontman Jordan Taylor Moed’s catchy yells mid-song and change in variation from speech-like singing to full-on screaming, there are so many elements that stand out in the song. The drums are insanely larger than life and particularly the bass drum that pierces through to the depth of your heart. You can literally feel it in your soul!
“Insomniacs was a culmination of The Hungry & Dangerous discovering our identity,” shared the band. “From our love of artists and bands like Alice Cooper, WASP, and The Misfits, The Hungry & Dangerous wanted to find our own statement in the shock rock world, and since this band is done apart currently and takes an insane amount of time and effort to make this all work, we all have become Insomniacs in one form or another and because of that, this song formed and has become our anthem to the world.”
As Moed yells “INSOMNIACS” in the middle of the song, you can’t help but sing along! So, prepare your speakers, blast out the tune, and scream alongside this rock banger.
