If It's Too Loud...

We're unabashed fans of STL GLD here at If It's Too Loud..., so we're thrilled that the Boston hip hop band has a new album coming out next month. "Resisting" is the first single off the upcoming album, and if you know anything about STL GLD you can guess exactly what this song is about. Musically "Resisting" is a new direction for the band. While they've always been pure hip hop, they've always peppered their sound with punk and metal. This one stays hip hop and also adds in some post-punk and electro clash. This one is not the party jam of 2018's "Donut Shop." "Resisting" is drenched in dread and anxiety, in the best possible way. You can watch the video for "Resisting" below. Rock Boyega is due November 11 on AR Classic Records. For more on STL GLD, check them out on Facebook and Instagram .

Photo via Facebook STL GLD have been collaborating with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for a few songs. They've all been reworkings of existing STL GLD songs, and they've all been fantastic. The latest is a new, unreleased STL GLD song, "Resisting." ("Resisting has previously appeared in a Front Row Boston "Field Recordings" video.) "Resisting" is an absolutely epic song. Based on the title, it's fairly obvious what the song is about. Typically, an orchestra is used to add a huge, cinematic feel to a song. Here, the BSO adds a cinematic feel, but more of a moody, dark feel which fits the song better. The anger and rage in STL GLD's vocals and the music they bring to the song stand in start contrast to BSO's mood, but the two sounds blend perfectly. All of STL GLD and the Boston Symphony Orchestra's collaborations have been masterpieces. "Resisting" is a whole new level. You can watch the video for "Resisting"...
