Mrs. Henry, San Diego's rock torchbearers, have returned with their latest single, "Keep On Rising." This high-voltage anthem is plucked straight out of their ambitious rock opera of the same name. This is a rallying call for all dreamers and outcasts who never back down.
A sonic rollercoaster soaked in classic rock bravado, "Keep On Rising" introduces us to YOUR TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY RISING STAR, the unyielding hero pursuing rock' n' roll immortality. It is a fiery testimony to the spirit of rock opera's past. It's a bit of the high-mindedness of The Who's Tommy, the theatrics of Jesus Christ Superstar, the cinematic sweep of The Wall, and the oddball, unhinged spunk of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Mrs. Henry doesn't merely play rock music. They inhabit it, charging every note with sweat, passion, and an electric sense of purpose.
With wailing guitars, impassioned vocals, and a rhythm section barreling ahead, "Keep On Rising" is an unabashed salute to the golden age of rock while forging ahead into new, untamed territory. It's not the sort of song you listen to. It insists that you feel there.
Prepare for Mrs. Henry's Rock Odyssey because this is only part one. "Keep On Rising" is a movement.
