Spirit Award is the moniker for Seattle-based singer/songwriter Daniel Lyon who is preparing for the release of his new album The Fear, which will be released on May 19th via Share It Music.
“Pushing Foward” is the visceral lead single from the album that channels a very primal dark atmosphere, that feels like a brooding blend of The Kills and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
Speaking on the track, Lyon adds:
This idea for this song came about at a time of growth and realization, during some sleepless nights. I had so many things getting thrown my way throughout my musical career; Vans getting broken into, gear stolen, rehearsal space getting robbed, identity getting stolen, van getting stolen, health problems, and most of all financial problems. The worst of all these has been a post-pandemic landscape which has changed how bands tour and put out music and try to make a living doing so. This has not only affected musicians but also music venues. Throughout all this, as a person and as a musician, I have always tried to keep ‘pushing forward’. So this song became a motivation to do so and sort of a rallying cry for our music community. I am thankful to have had the support of MusiCares and friends that helped me through a journey of growth and discovery. And knowing that no matter how low things get, there is hope.
