The Margaret Hooligans tribute to the legendary Stevie Van Zandt with their latest single, “Alley Cat Stomp.” The tribute is a vibrant and gritty musical exploration that poses conscientiousness by highlighting the pervasive gun violence in the US.
As the third single from their upcoming fourth album, “ThunderHole Rock n’ Roll,” the song features clacking cowbell jangles with gritty guitars and electric ukelele. They create an intriguing atmosphere that quickly transforms as thumping drums join the mix. The vocals, led by the powerful and thick voice of Meg Cratty, add catchiness to the energetic ensemble. The tempo grows dynamic by the minute and engages listeners like never before.
“Alley Cat Stomp” showcases a discord of jamming music. The song mirrors the chaotic yet vibrant energy of garage rock which was recorded in the basement of Piety Street Publishing. Mr. Strontium mixed and captured the raw essence of the band’s sound. Meanwhile, mastering by KRAMER of Shimmy Disc Records adds a professional touch to the production.
In essence, The Margaret Hooligans have crafted a dynamic and spirited piece that not only pays homage to a rock icon but also addresses a pressing social issue. With its electrifying blend of instruments and impactful vocals, “Alley Cat Stomp” promises to be a standout track on the upcoming album. Also don’t forget to jam to their music video that came out just this Nov 28.
