Melbourne-based pop punks Danger Den are back with another frenetic offering of energetic sonic goodness they’ve titled ‘Given’.<\/span><\/p>\n A taster of their forthcoming EP ‘It’ll Be Alight’ that’s scheduled to drop next month, ‘Given’ encourages the listener to shed toxic habits, rise above the influence of narcissistic individuals, and embrace change with strength and positivity.<\/p>\n A cheeky bossa nova-styled intro adds a delightful twist to the song as the band asks “do you like jazz?”, which quickly explodes into a maelstrom of punk-rock-fuelled mayhem featuring rollicking, punchy drums and anarchy-flavoured guitar riffage that’s equal parts Starburst flavour as it is Fisherman’s Friend potency.<\/p>\n It’s an all-out attack of noise with a catchy sing-along chorus (“Got new perceptions \/ I got a sense of why”) that has elements of the ’90s alternative scene melded to the band’s pop-punk style; don’t sleep on the killer guitar solo from lead guitarist James McGrath either, who shreds like his rent money depends on it.<\/p>\n “‘Given’ is about second chances and new beginnings,” frontman-guitarist Jeremy Uyloan says. “It’s written by our lead guitarist and vocalist James McGrath and he originally sang it in the demo.”<\/p>\n Ahead of the song’s release tomorrow (27 February), today scenestr is amped to premiere the ‘Given’ music video.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
