B-Side Guys

EVNTYD’s latest track “Suffer Me” emerges as a defiant anthem, resonating with the energy of a 90s alternative rock rebellion, yet infused with a modern indie-rock spirit. The song’s assertive “watch me” attitude, cloaked in layers of distorted guitar and pulsating rhythms, makes it an electrifying entry in the shoegaze and alternative rock genres, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with contemporaries like Slow Pulp and IDLES, while nodding to the ethereal soundscapes of Slowdive.

The song’s lyrics, “Who’s gonna talk me out, Who wants to tuck me in, Everyone’s laughing now, No one was watching when,” encapsulate a narrative of individual defiance and persistence against the backdrop of skepticism and neglect. The raw emotional energy conveyed in these lines is brilliantly matched by the gritty and unyielding sound of the track. “Suffer Me” carries the weight of Julián Berdegué’s introspection, and the defiance in his voice complements the chaotic, yet harmonious, blend of instruments, crafting a soundscape that is both nostalgic and refreshingly new.

In the chorus, “Who’s gonna shut me down, Who wants to do me in, Send my love,” there’s a juxtaposition of vulnerability and strength, a call to those who doubt and a resilient stand against them. This duality is the crux of EVNTYD’s artistry, capturing the essence of being misunderstood yet unyielding in one’s path. The heavy, reverberating guitars and the dynamic drumming create a sonic whirlwind, echoing the turbulence of fighting for one’s place in a world that’s quick to judge and dismiss.

“Suffer Me” is more than just a song; it’s an experience that encapsulates the struggle of the creative soul against the tides of conformity. It’s a reminder of EVNTYD’s prowess in crafting music that’s not just heard but felt, a testament to his ability to blend emotion and sound into a compelling narrative. This track, with its raw energy and poignant lyrics, is a bold statement from EVNTYD, signaling that his creative flame is burning brighter than ever.
