Hard-rockers Alive In Barcelona have launched the new single and accompanying music video, “Parasite.”
The track will appear on the band’s upcoming Flatline EP, due 4 November from Smartpunk Records. Vocalist, Matt Hoos, describes the song’s meaning:
“Parasite is a song about discovering things in your life that are toxic, leeching of of your well-being,
crippling not only you…but everyone around you. Life is full of regrets, some we can face and conquer,
while others eat away at the very fiber of your being. Parasite is about that ‘eating feeling.’ The trial of
facing challenges when you don’t have the strength, and the question: “is this who I am supposed to be?”
Check out the new single below and keep your eyes on TGEFM for more information as it becomes available.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
