On their new single, "Nothing Ever Tasted So Good," Speaking Is A Gun launches into rock 'n' roll with a firestarter that is as intricate as it is gripping. This track signifies a confident change of sound and spirit for the band, dialing up the emotion, rhythm, and raw, unfiltered feeling.
Bassist Max Prieß and drummer Damian Baran don't simply drive the groove. They force it into a fevered heartbeat, creating a base of breakbeat-inspired rhythms that are roving, rhythmic, and completely alive. Meanwhile, the rhythm guitars provide some texture and bite, locking the track into a dirt-flavored rock context.
Atop this headrush, the vocals fall like a confession in freestyle half rap, half inner monologue, all communicate. There's something beautifully messy and real about the way the lyrics spiral around infatuation, nailing that lovesick, everything-is-heightened feeling of early-stage amour. The central line, "Nothing ever tasted so good since I love you," is a total sensory overload. Taste becomes a metaphor, and love is a full-body experience.
"Nothing Ever Tasted So Good" isn’t comfortable in one groove or vibe for long. It curls, unpacks, and pulses with life. That makes sense. It’s sweaty, rhythmic, and sharp-edged, with every beat sounding like it could fall apart or go up in flames at any moment. Speaking Is A Gun takes a bit of a chance here, experimenting with a new sound, and it pays off in spades. This isn’t so much a debut as a statement. Speaking Is A Gun is poised to shake off expectations and redefine the edges, and Nothing Ever Tasted So Good is proof they can do it with style, swagger, and just a splash of madness.
