Away Fans Deliver a Disco-Rock Banger

A new single from Away Fans delivers quite a danceable disco pop rock banger, and the way this song builds is incredibly clever and completely addictive, loaded with character and personality, and hits with a colorful underbelly that feels great.

"Take" comes in with a bopping bass line and vocals bouncing off each other. The vocals themselves create a backbone rhythm, and the bass bops between those vocals so that you really can't help but start moving even before the drums come in.

Throughout this, there is a kick drum and a little hint of hi-hat, but the drums aren't fully banging yet.

One vocal presents itself almost like a rhythm instrument, along with that bass bopping, the kick drum stopping, and there's an overlaying vocal singing the first verse.

As the song unfolds it starts to really come alive with guitars, the drums kicking full blast, more and more vocals come in making things feel incredibly lush and full-bodied, and the whole song just boasts this disco rhythm that makes you want to get off your ass and start dancing around the living room.

This is definitely the kind of track you want to move the couch back so that you have some dancing room, because you won't be able to not move your body to this track.

This is one of the most creative and fun tracks I've heard in quite some time, and the energy is unreal. It almost feels like these guys pulled it off live on the floor, to an extent. It feels like everyone is feeding off of each other's energies the entire time, in the whole song has this electricity to it.

It's stomping, thriving, slightly edgy, but again, really bright and colorful. It also hints towards indie rock, pop rock, and more, but that disco-pop approach is really prominent here.

It's got this great guitar riff that's based more on higher notes, so it's like a lick, and it's drenched in this chorus effect that makes it feel really wet and wobbly.

The vocals are just robust. They are all over the place, but together at the same time. All the elements of this track build up and come together like pieces of a puzzle. It's really outstanding and it makes you wonder how on earth the guys plan this out.

The arrangement is everything here. Again, the song builds into its full self but takes its sweet time to get there.

As that is happening, you start to become addicted to each new element that they bring to the table.

By the time everything is in full swing, you're all in, and this is a hands-in-the-air, dance-around-the-room, sing-along type of track.

It does make you wonder how they put it all together. The planning was amazing for this. It also sounds like they have a real love for their craft, especially in terms of recording songs like this.

Listening to this makes me want to go see them perform this track live. I wonder how that would unfold and what it would sound like.

I would definitely want to have that intro the same way because it's really brilliant. Just the way they use the vocals as rhythm instruments at the beginning of the song showcases the band's massive creativity.

You can also hear a slew of influences ranging from the 80s and New Wave type of stuff all the way through pop punk and plenty more throughout the course of this one single track, and I found that refreshing.

So come on, all this was like a sort of gritty, edgy, rock, dance, and disco-pop single that has a great little drive to it that makes it rock out in its own sense without going over the top.

It never loses the pop aspect or the personality that it began with in the first place.

I have never heard a song this sort of loose and fun but still ultra tight and well thought out.

These guys really have a knack for doing things their own way and creating songs that are super memorable, danceable, and have their signature on it.

Definitely check this truck out as soon as you can, and please, turn it up. This is how it was meant to be heard.

If you don't at least shake your butt to this track while you're listening, something might be wrong with you, and you might need to get checked out.

Remember where you heard this first.
