Song of the Day - Worn and Torn

Today's song of the day comes from Brum-based band Broken Witt Rebels. I've had the pleasure of seeing the Rebels live, which is how I discovered them, and they rocked. They play Blues inspired rock music which belies their age. Whilst they are a young band, they have a classic sound that could have come from a rock band from another era.

Today's song is All Worn Out:


So What's So Good?

Powerful guitars are BWR's specialty, and this song is no different, opening on an awesome blues-y riff. This continues throughout the song with some slick, layered guitar work, combined with the dynamic drumbeat. During the verses, the guitars are toned down a little; it reminds me of Tighten Up by The Black Keys. Sounding like The Black Keys is almost never a bad thing.

Lead singer Danny Core's vocals are full of energy and emotion, but it's easy to forget that this guy is still a teenager. He has a voice that transcends his age, sounding like it's straight from an older era. 

All Worn Out is a powerful, enchanting song that deserves a listen by anyone who likes rock 'n' roll or blues music. Give the Rebels a chance.
