SULFUR CITY – “WAR GOING ON”
Spill Exclusive Music Premiere
“Joan Jett said, ‘Rock and roll is political, it is a meaningful way to express descent, stir up the status quo, stir up revolution and fight for human rights.’ The song ‘War Going On’ is just that, calling out the War on humanity that’s hidden in shiny, glittery advertisements telling us what we need: to buy more, to own more, to feel a certain way, to look a certain way, to speak and even dream a certain way. We have lost our identity to a corporate makeover. We are fighting a war we don’t even know we are fighting.” Lori Paradis
Sulfur City premiere “War Going On,” the first single off their new record, Talking Loud, today.
Fronted by singer/electric washboard player Lori Paradis, Sulfur City comes roaring out of your speakers with echos of Grace Slick, Patti Smith and Janis Joplin. Sulfur City is the first female-fronted band on Alive Records, and their balls-to-the-wall, high-energy gritty style fits right in with label mates like The Black Keys and Left Lane Cruiser.
Raised in the small mining village in Northeastern Ontario, Lori’s lyrics reflect her life experience (she has been a truck driver on a construction crew, a bartender and a house painter, among other odd jobs). Talking Loud, which comes out May 27, was recorded at the infamous Gas Station Recording studio by Dale Morningstar (Cowboy Junkies, Neko Case). Check out “War Going On” below.
