State Champs as they turn the page with their new track, "Too Late To Say." Making a name for themselves with high-energy hooks and relentless sound, the band takes a hard turn into raw reflection, embracing an unapologetically vulnerable facet of songwriting without sacrificing any of their trademark edges.
"Too Late To Say" comes to life with racing guitar riffs, steady percussion, and a pulsing bass line that sets a strong foundation for Derek DiScanio's husky, impassioned vocals. It is fresh and shiny, yet it has a dimensionality and emotional gravity buried in the struggle between self-doubt, fear, and losing the self.
DiScanio's opening lines, "A little desire every time I open up and lose control, But now I'm out of one-liners and still a little tired," set the stage for an anthem of weariness and self-obliteration. The chorus bursts forth with yearning and anxiety, a fraying grasp on control in the face of emotional upheaval.
"Too Late To Say" is an unfiltered confession. You must push away all the good things while navigating the chaos of self-discovery. But despite its heft, it soars with the anthemic energy that fans have come to know and love.
"Too Late To Say" is just another State Champs belter, coupled with a new dynamic music video, but it's also a testament to the band's evolution as musicians and storytellers. This release is about as raw and honest as anything that gets put out these days, and with it, the band demonstrates their love of the game and the passion they bring to it in these uncertain times.
