Jason Demetri has dived head-first into breaking down facades with his latest release, "Headtrip," a raw exploration of overthinking, self-confrontation, and self-reflection, and a high-octane cocktail of hard rock energy. Demetri doesn't avoid flashing riffs or detonating drums. Instead, an unsettling bolt of unease runs through the song.
It's road music, the kind that makes your fingers twitch on the steering wheel and your mind race just a little faster than you'd like in the best way possible. "Headtrip" appears to be borne out of lived experience. The instrumentation is purposefully rough around the edges, not dirty, but emotionally untamed, a suggestion of thoughts crashing into each other and pinching to make a brain cease to settle down. It's cathartic, loud, and visceral, yet still has the sort of control only a seasoned rock talent like Demetri could bring to the table.
It's a song tailor-made for those late-night drives, those lonely moments of truth, and those days when it feels as if your mind is playing tricks on you. Singer Jason Demetri has a natural ear for sweet melodies and the ability to craft his lyrics to complement them, rather than overshadow them. "Headtrip" is not just another alt-rock banger. It's a confession cloaked in distortion, a war cry for those who are warring with themselves, and a call for those who struggle with the current revival of riotous unrest to reclaim the sound of forthright and vulnerable humanity.
