The Trustedโs latest release, โDoomsday,โ is a colossal anthem that explores the theme of everything falling apart. Drawing influences from bands like The Strokes, The Killers, and The 1975, The Trusted once again showcase their ability with this track through its explosive sound and introspective lyrics.
Lead singer Tom Cunninghamโs sultry, smooth, yet vulnerable vocal performance takes center stage, capturing the essence of the songโs personal cry for help. With each note, Cunningham delves into the depths of vulnerability, pouring his heart out amidst a backdrop of soaring guitars and thunderous drums. The Trusted masterfully crafts a massive soundscape that demands to be played at maximum volume, allowing the infectious and unforgettable chorus to resonate deeply.
The lyrical content of โDoomsdayโ reflects the bandโs exploration of flailing mental health and similarly worsening lives, with the world breaking out with a new tragedy every day. The song serves as a reminder that our own minds can reach a breaking point in reaction to all this misery.
While maintaining their indie sensibilities, The Trusted continues to pursue rock songs where the guitars do more talking than the impressive lyrics themselves. โDoomsdayโ stands out as their most serious and introspective release to date, showcasing their growth as songwriters and musicians.
With the sounds of Elvis Costello, Springsteen, The 1975, and The Killers hanging in their heads, The Trusted aspired to create their own grooves. And they have! Check out โDoomsdayโ on Spotify to delve into their genius.
