Austin, TX-based band TV’s Daniel will release their debut album, Never Change, on September 1st via Wild Honey Records.
They have already given us a taste with lead single “‘Face Down In The Ditch (Of Love)” a thrilling and high-octane-biting garage and punk rocker that wastes no time delivering its welcome swift blow. The track feels like a blend of The Hives and all the bands that you fell in love with reading NME in high school.
Speaking on the track, lead singer Daniel Fried explains:
“‘Face Down In The Ditch (Of Love)’ was the first song I ever wrote for TV’s Daniel, before the world imploded and built itself back again. I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could write a good song using only one chord. Part of the impetus of starting a solo band is having a project where no one can tell you “no”. So, I tried to mix as many influences as I can into the song and filter them through my brain and years of playing in other bands. Foggy Notion meets early Psychedelic Furs, with some great guitar work by Jason Smith, reminiscent of the Soft Boys and Television. Not bad for one chord. Lyrically, the song is about readying yourself to be open for love. Not getting hung up inside your head and being able to appreciate what’s in front of you, or what’s sneaking up behind you”.
