Meltdown

John Taylor

Aggressive bass-driven rock with a late-nineties urban edge. A restless, stylish record that trades new romantic sheen for gritty, distorted energy.

It's like a midnight street race where the bass guitar is the engine.

A high-tension, rhythmic exploration of urban isolation and late-night defiance.
