Digitally published by Tongue Tied Magazine, June 2022. View original publication.

With explosive guitar lines and hyper-awareness of the finite nature of live music, gloomy june has released their newest track, titled “This Party Is A Warzone”.

Originally written in 2021, “This Party Is A Warzone” is an energetic pop rock discussion on the dangerous celebrations of live music coming back in the waning light of the quarantine era. Lyrical tension rises throughout the track as they begin telling others to take a picture to remember the moment and expressing the freedom of losing yourself to the dance floor. 

The tension of “This Party Is A Warzone” finds its baseline within the instrumentation. As the track builds, the guitar line seemingly gets more and more violent with full speed tempos, all signifying the rapidly fleeting energy of the moment being discussed lyrically. The energy of “This Party Is A Warzone” is unmatched as gloomy june finds religion in the ephemeral moments of the party that they live in.

Shedding the previous band name of The Y Axes, gloomy june has hit a spark plug of energy in “This Party Is A Warzone”. Their new EP Popsick features “This Party Is A Warzone” and four other tracks that are certain to make your heart beat just a bit faster. You can stream “This Party Is A Warzone” and all of Popsick on Spotify now, and make sure you follow gloomy june on Instagram so you don’t miss a second of this explosive new reimagining of moody pop rock.
