Penny Rebels is back with their latest single, "Open Road", an uplifting and empowering number that celebrates freedom and taking charge. It seems like a thrill where you open the windows and let your worries go. Almost immediately, it begins with an influential blues sound that sets the tone for a fun journey. The guitar sounds punchy, the organ fills in all the empty space with a warm, rich tone, and the rhythm section kicks along like a car on an open road.
Their harmony pairs with a voice of equal strength and emotion, revealing the heart that "Open Road" is. Standing proud on your own may be sad and lonely, but it should be accepted as who we are. The lyrics resonated with anyone who felt the weight of family or societal expectations that they should follow a particular path. These instances help a person remember to trust their consumer decision, even when there are editorial people and others who do not subscribe to the same view, which can be interesting. Something in this message is speaking to us, and it reconciles honour with realness.
The release of "Open Road" follows the band's first offering, way back in October, with their debut single, "Bad Man," gaining 5,000 streams on Spotify within a few short weeks. If the first track was an appetizer, this piece is a proclamation that Penny Rebels have what it takes to stand out in today's music world. At a juncture where tracks can sound overly polished, Penny Rebels bring a gritty and honest edge. "Open Road" is an invitation to write your own story and see where life leads you.
