OpenTAB has finally unveiled their highly anticipated debut single, WYA,โ on July 28th. With five years of musical camaraderie under their belt, the band has masterfully merged influences from indie rock to punk rock and everything in between to craft a sound that is truly their own.
WYAโ kicks off with warm and inviting soft arpeggios that immediately draw listeners in. But itโs the bandโs impeccable sense of rhythm that takes the song up a notch. The subtle, groovy bass and drums infuse the track with a floating pace, making it impossible not to bop along to the beat.
Recorded in the intimate setting of Timโs basement, โWYAโ exudes an organic quality that enhances its raw authenticity. The palpable emotions conveyed by the bandโs tight-knit performance make for an immersive experience that keeps listeners hooked throughout. John Paul Peters from Private Ear Recording works his magic on the mix and master, giving โWYAโ a professional sheen that doesnโt take its edgy spirit away.
The lyrics hit like a gut punch, expressing the sheer disbelief of how a once-thriving relationship could crumble. You can practically feel the longing, the confusion, and the desperate need for answers reverberating in your bones.
With their raw talent and storytelling genius, OpenTAB has created an anthem for anyone whoโs ever loved and lost. โWYAโ is now making its way onto the soundtrack of the upcoming Shudder horror movie โElevator Gameโ, and it speaks volumes about the bandโs rising prominence and musical prowess.
