‘Okay, I Get It’ is a trip through the glory days of 90s music.
It’s Tuesday, and what is truly remarkable about this day of the week is that I get to bring new music to you from a local band that needs to be put on your radar now. Released on July 16, 2024, ‘Okay, I Get It’ is the latest from Olla-based Running from Shadows, and it is a trip through the glory days of 90s music – ripe with fuzz and just the right amount of nostalgia for a truly enjoyable listening experience.
Running from Shadows is the brainchild of multi-talented musician Darren White with assistance from Ty Del Rose, the drumming powerhouse from Smile Empty Soul, and together this duo has created a sound that’s part swamp monster, part California earthquake, and 100% pure rock n’ roll mayhem.
‘Okay, I Get It’ starts with a crunchy 90s grunge and alternative guitar sound that reminds me of Hum meets Local H and continues with a bit of a punk vibe, creating a sonic explosion of sound for your eardrums. If you’re unfamiliar with the two bands I named above as sound influences, you must go down that rabbit hole.
As the song progresses, this constant groove keeps your head nodding, and when the bridge kicks in, the groove becomes more pronounced until the chorus hits with, “Okay, okay, okay, I think I get it.” I dug this tune, and I think you will, too. The sound is refreshingly modern with just the right amount of nostalgia.
According to vocalist Darren White, “’Okay, I Get It’ is an anthem for those who don’t have their life together. Whether you’re slamming into the pit or just thrashing around in your bedroom, this track demands to be played at maximum volume.”
‘Okay, I Get It’ is available now on all streaming platforms, so dive in!
