Sponsored Content serve up deeply complex new single, "Off The Grid"
Fresh off the release of their latest single “Off The Grid”, the band known as Sponsored Content have stormed into 2023 with an absolute gem. We are loving this! Keep reading as we take a closer look into the track, as well as a background on this emerging band.
Serving as a bold and unapologetic call to arms against the rampant misinformation and propaganda that plagues our modern society, everything about Sponsored Content’s "Off The Grid” is pure gold. Frontman and co-founder of The Salt Lick Records, Captcha, leads the charge with his signature blend of ad-rock inspired by the likes of Cake and Talking Heads. In case this happens to be your introduction to the group, we can think of no better jumping off point than with a spin of this.
The song itself is a masterclass in tight and funky rhythm, with multi-instrumentalists Chris Voss and John Baldwin providing moody bass grooves and intricate drum patterns, respectively. Captcha's vocals and off-kilter rhythm guitar work in perfect harmony, creating a sound that is both dynamic and emotive. Lyrically speaking, "Off The Grid" sees Captcha on a tirade against bots and misinformation, fighting propaganda with propaganda in a quest for a world that no longer exists and a truth that was never true. His enemies are thoroughly confused, not even knowing what enemies they have. In terms of creativity and legitimately breaking the mold of what we typically hear thematically, we’re beyond thrilled with the final result of how this one turned out. It’s not often a band goes above and beyond exploring complex themes like these, but they’ve nailed it.
Overall, Sponsored Content's "Off The Grid" is a powerful and timely track that speaks to the chaotic and confusing nature of the modern world. With its infectious groove and thought-provoking lyrics, it's a must-listen for anyone looking for music with substance and meaning. Additionally, we took the opportunity to do a bit more expiration into their growing discography and can confidently claim there’s plenty of other greatness lurking for you to explore.
