The Transits’ standout track, “No Solution,” from their self-titled album is a punk rock introspection that’s equal parts catchy and apocalyptic.
The song opens with Heavy, melodic guitar riffs shimmering and swirling around a steady, hefty drumbeat that sets a hypnotic rhythm. Together, they create a thick and atmospheric soundscape. The song builds slowly, layer upon layer. Then, Dom Antelme’s vocals cut through the mix, sharp and cold. He sings, “Here we are with no solution,” and the weight of those words hangs heavy in the air.
Antelme’s vocals are joined by Ryan Lunn’s, creating a unified soaring sensation, rising above the shimmering music. The energy builds, reaching an anthemic peak before pulling back for another verse. This dynamic structure keeps us enthralled with anticipation, while soothed with the chiming backdrop.
The verses are delivered with a low intensity. Antelme’s voice is drenched in reverb, adding an emo-rock feel to the song. It’s a perfect contrast to the soaring choruses, highlighting the emotional struggle at the heart of the lyrics. This song is a darker, moodier side of the band, but it’s just as compelling as anything they’ve done before.
With chart-topping singles and critically acclaimed music videos, The Transits has quickly built a global following. “No Solution” is an exemplary creation that proves their grit.
You might not find a solution, but you’ll definitely discover a new side of punk.
