Albuquerque alternative rock quintet Right on, Kid! have unveiled the second single ‘Dream Eater’ from their upcoming EP ‘Carry What You Need.’ The Duke City crew’s cathartic and heady brand of alternative rock is doused in emo, with pop punk sensibilities oozing through at every turn.
Speaking on the new single, lead vocalist Zach Rose shares: “We wrote ‘Dream Eater’ before any other track on this project, but it wasn’t until we got to post-production for ‘Carry What You Need’ that we decided to attempt to finish writing the song. Lyrically, it’s about the importance of meaningful attachment and the difficulties that can come with not being able to comfortably attach or ‘attune’ to people or feelings.”
Rose continues: “Seth Henderson (producer, State Champs, Knuckle Puck) really pushed us to embrace unconventional guitar tones and sounds while we were tracking this song. Musically, ‘Dream Eater’ is the ‘weirdest’ song we have written. Somehow he was able to reel us back in and ensure that this track is cohesive with the entire project while allowing us to get familiar with being in uncharted territory as artists.”
