The Mess:Age has released an electrifying and contagious rock track, “Famous Friend,” rooted in the band’s gritty yet vibrant style. Fronted by vocalist and founder Glen Brandon, known as “Ziggy,” along with bassist Paul Gold (formerly of Two Tribes) and guitarist Jaime Page (from Trilogy and Dark Universe), the London-based group delivers a high-energy rock song with a raw edge and an emotional core.
The track kicks off with a sharp, shrill blaze of electric guitar, instantly grabbing your attention. The steady thumping of drums follows, creating a driving rhythm that’s both powerful and unrelenting. The guitar riffs electrifying, while the punchy beats set a foundation for an intense rock experience.
Ziggy’s vocals soar above the instrumentals with sensitive, wild emotion. His voice is luscious and thick, rich with passion, and effortlessly climbs into a tender falsetto, balancing vulnerability with power. Singing with reckless abandon, his performance is all about manifesting his own prophecy.
Draws inspiration from some iconic sources, blending the cinematic grit of “Death Wish 2,” a Charles Bronson film, with the rock ‘n’ roll swagger of The Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar.” Recorded in East London, the production enhances the rough, live sound of the band.
“Famous Friend is a standout single that captures the essence of rock while weaving in a personal story of prophecy and fate. With its gnarling riffs, punchy rhythms, and Ziggy’s exhilarating appeal, the song creates a head-nodding experience for all of us. Listen to The Mess:Age’s latest single on Spotify.
