Ever felt the need to scream out your pent-up frustrations? Yeah, happens with all of us! But we canโt always scream, can we? The tone and setting need to be aligned, of course. Well, what do we have rock music for, anyway? You can consider โWasting Timeโ by Harker to be your ultimate narcotic! Harker couldnโt have made the song any more passionate or personal than with Mark Bonifaceโs voice layering up as he screams in the chorus: โI said what I had to say/I meant every word I said/And if you wonโt talk to me/Iโm just wasting time again.โ
The electric guitar, drums, and cymbals in โWasting Timeโ are perfectly coordinated to create a driving soundscape. The guitar riffs and bassline provide emphasis on Harkerโs lyrics and voice gnarling overhead. This amazing, confounding sound came together, sounding so wholly vehement and wholesome in the end, thanks to their producer Tim Greaves and their studio Southsea Sound.
And if you were to ask, whatโs behind all this frustration? Well, itโs the song explaining a frustrating reaction to a frustrating case of a relationship where the characterโs partner doesnโt seem to care as much anymore, despite him meaning everything he said.
Wondering about this British bandโs credibility? Harker has been rocking the UK music scene with 2 great albums and fabulous labels like Wiretap Records, Paper+Plastick, and Fixing a Hole upon them since 2015. If you are into this punk rock sound that Harker has created, donโt forget to check out their next album and their next tour. See if they are coming near you!
