The Mess:Age Releases New Rock Anthem “Famous Friend”

73

London-based rock band The Mess:Age has released their latest song: “Famous Friend” explaining the struggles and joys of camaraderie when faced with stardom. This single is composed by the band’s founder and the lead vocalist Glen Brandon, also known as Ziggy, from his new album “Make the Peace”. This is one of Ziggy’s themes – fame vs. friendship – that comes from his own friendship with bassist Paul Gold.

Inspired by the film “DeathWish 2” and The Rolling Stones’ track “Brown Sugar”, Ziggy envisioned. He regarded the song as a prophecy of what may happen to his friendship with Paul should they become famous. It describes how success puts even family to test, and shows both the glories and sorrows of stardom.

Produced in East London, Paul Gold, and guitarist Jaime Page from Trilogy and Dark Universe, “Famous Friend” is mighty with awesome guitar interplay and raw, passionate instrumentals. The first instrument used in the song is a highly energized drums to produce a nice beat accompanied by a sharp electric guitar sound. With gritty and emotionally charged tone, Ziggy’s vocal comes in on the instrumentals to give a powerful and tender note.

Also very melodic with elements of atmospheric synths, and quickly played keys “Famous Friend” also has a flash of 80s space nostalgia among its themes of friendship and memories. Ziggy’s voice is powerful, raw and emotional, which makes his performance so genuine; it’s like you are feeling the shivers of outrage while listening to the song because he sings it out so passionately all the time proposing an anthem for any period of time.

The powerful melodies of the song, great guitar riff and the inspired words of the song do well to emphasize the rock form of music and the functionality of friendships even in fame and adversity. The Mess:Age provides one of deepest and lyric tracks that tells the listeners about the rock band’s love to the friendship and real passion to rock-n-roll music.
