NEON BLOOM – “LOVERS DANCE”
INDEPENDENT
Toronto-based quartet Neon Bloom is back with their latest single and music video, βLovers Danceβ, a powerful and uplifting synth-laden, dancey glam-rock track. With punky, Debbie Harry-inspired vocals, soaring synthesizers, a pulsating bass line, and rock solid drumbeat, Lovers Dance encourages listeners to celebrate themselves and embrace a sense of freedom.
Formed in 2017, Neon Bloom quickly staked a claim as one of the most innovative and energetic live bands on the Toronto scene. Band members Jen Simpson (vocals), Simon Chow (guitar/synth) Fred Yurichuk (bass/sampler), and Chris Romano (drums/synth) draw their influences from modern electronica, 70s punk, 80s New Wave, and 90s grunge, and have been compared to combinations of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, Blondie, and Radiohead.
“Lovers’ Dance” is not just a song; it’s an anthem of triumph over adversity. The lyrics were inspired by the famous Nietzsche quote: “…throw roses into the abyss and say: ‘here is my thanks to the monster who didn’t succeed in swallowing me alive.” It’s a quote that beautifully captures the essence of the song, reflecting the band’s journey of overcoming personal and external challenges to emerge stronger and better.
Catch Neon Bloom at The Horseshoe Tavern on Monday, November 6th opening for We Are Scientists.
ARTIST QUOTE
“That quote resonates with me because Iβve had what feel like numerous ‘monsters’ throughout my life (illness, bad relationships, other personal difficulties), and not one of them has quite managed to devour me,β says lead singer Jen Simpson. βEven if left changed by the process of interacting with someone or something that damages you, you can choose to either live with that pain and anger, becoming bitter β or you can let it go. We want to empower listeners with the message that, no matter who you are or what you’ve been through, you deserve to be free β to dance. Try to let go of all the things that are holding you down, even if just for the length of a song.”
