The Refusers presenting their single, βFree the Captivesβ
The Refusers combine hard-hitting music with unique themes and larger-than-life energy. The project managed to combine the massive sound of 90s alternative music, with a truly timeless vibe.
βFree the Captiveβ has a sound that makes us think of some of the best southern rock music, but the vocals have a completely different character, combining melodic hooks with expressive verses. The choruses are really open and memorable, almost channelling some stadium rock vibes, with vocal harmonies and big guitar parts. The piano parts and keys are also amazing, adding so many subtleties to the mix.
This song is a new milestone for The Refusers, and this new release highlights their commitment to creating catchy songs, while focusing on deeper themes.
