OpenTAB has finally unveiled their highly anticipated debut single, WYA,” 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.
WYA” kicks off with warm and inviting soft arpeggios that immediately draw listeners in. But it’s the band’s 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 Tim’s basement, “WYA” exudes an organic quality that enhances its raw authenticity. The palpable emotions conveyed by the band’s 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 “WYA” a professional sheen that doesn’t 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 who’s ever loved and lost. “WYA” is now making its way onto the soundtrack of the upcoming Shudder horror movie “Elevator Game”, and it speaks volumes about the band’s rising prominence and musical prowess.
