LEWCA - FORGET MY NAME


 REMEMBER THE SONG, FORGOT THE NAME....

When the party's rollin' it's a blur, it's a haze, the movement, the lights, the sound.  People steppin' to you,....I wish they'd step off, yea one more round, I'm not leavin'.  

Morning always comes, tired and muddled, it always comes...Forget My Name...forget it all!  Our man Lewca bought four rounds.  Four rounds to figure out if your a rockstar or not, four rounds to walk the walk!  

So this is it, the morning after the morning after the night before, yea we bin out!  The track opens gently, acoustically, like a sliver of sunshine before the world crashes in, the world always does that. Lewca's vocal, raspy, stung and burnt.."I can't take it, I can't fuckin fake it"...a desperate showdown at the end of the road.  

The horns, charged with the electricity of a Mexican standoff, rise up to meet the vocal from Victory Flow on the chorus, like a dusty funeral procession.  Burnin' with soul, the spoken word epitaph of Victory Flow implores you, don't go insane,  yea don't forget my name! Testify!  

Once again Lewca brings in a star studded posse to the studio; Big John Mitchie, Paul Duncan, Ian Williamson, Shark Star, and the everpresent electro magic of S.O.A.P., and Ben Samama.  Underpinned by sharp piercing riffs and minimalist drum beats, Lewca finds the redemption we're all searchin' for, he ain't fading away, he's ridin' out in a blaze of glory!

This time Lewca publishes a visual to the audio.  The final single release, from the album Friday Night Rockstar, comes customized with an Orwell meets Seven Monkey's style video.  From the static monochrome of Lewca, to the redemptive technicolor of Victory Flow,  the video takes you on a long days journey into night, and out into the light of the other side.  

For anyone out of the loop the album release is weeks away, which means the heavy liftin is done.  Four singles in the span of ninety days....you've had more than enough time to figure out where you stand.  But whatever side you come down on, Lewca is a musical force to be reckoned with...

...and for those who dismiss him, he never lacks the firepower when the shit goes down!  
VAMOS!
