Phantom Ocean - "I'm With the Band"
"Spooky, bluesy grunge misfits from Salem" Phantom Ocean just released a brand new single. "I'm With the Band" is an indie rock song seeped in blues that was written by drummer/singer Sarah Moughan-Smith about her experiences in the music scene. It's a song that's as noisy as it is catchy. It's a lo-fi grunge/blues song, which doesn't sound like it would work until you think about it for a few seconds. It's a perfect sonic combination that drips with venom just as much as it makes you want to happily sing along. Sarah Moughan-Smith says of the new single: “'I’m With the Band' is a pushback against the assumption that women are just 'with the band' and not full artists and people in their own right that, unfortunately, some people love to cling to. I drew on my own experiences of not being respected and treated like eye candy, and the reactions I got when I finally stepped into my own and refused to let that happen anymore....
