Hamilton-based glitter punk band Superstar Crush new single, "They Keep Calling," is a powerful and emotional anthem that captures the feeling of collapsing into the arms of your best friend after a long and arduous day. The song is being released in anticipation of their debut album, "Way Too Much," which is set to be released on August 5th.
This track is a bold tribute to the feelings of burnout and discomfort, particularly from a female perspective, while also highlighting the softer side of caring for others. But don't think of it as just another heartbreaking song, it's a spirited declaration filled with love and drama. Written by the band's guitarist, Sam Hansell, and sung by lead vocalist Marzieh Darling, the music turns the typical love song on its head. Instead of needing to be saved, it's about finally being seen and heard. In a powerful narrative, Darling expresses her need to be acknowledged above the noise of everyone else's demands. It resonates deeply with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the emotional burden of others.
Darling's voice drives the song with a mix of chaos, exhaustion, and determination, while the band supports her with energetic music that feels like a tidal wave. Think of it as a theatrical performance featuring rock music, combining the vibe of early 2000s Avril Lavigne with the essence of Mitski, all infused with a glittery touch and lots of courage. "They Keep Calling" goes beyond being just a song, it's a call to anyone feeling crushed under expectations and emotional responsibilities. It sends a message that it's perfectly okay to want a break and that you're not alone in feeling this way.
