New video from Chris

[Brian Haner Sr.]

Hey gang,
Our very own Chris Greig and the Merchants just dropped a new video. As most of you know - I love pop and a great hook. This tune has it all.
I love the little 8th note anticipations in the chorus. Simple changes (D to Bm) - but by anticipating the downbeat on each chord it dresses it up and gives it some excitement. The breakdown at the end with the high guitar is brilliant. I hear a bit of a U2 vibe there (which is a huge compliment).
The chords in this song are simple - but the arrangement is not. The song builds perfectly from verse to chorus.
The groove is incredible. Bass and drums working like gears.
The vocal and melody are spot on. His voice is interesting and makes me want to listen to more of their stuff.
When A7X was on the Warped Tour back in the mid-2000s, I used to go from stage to stage and listen to some of the bands; My Chem, All American Rejects, Fallout Boy, Story of the Year, etc.
This song reminds of of that era. Just great pop music.
I hope this catches on because I would love to hear more of these guys.

I'm genuinely at a loss for words @Brian Haner Sr. , thank you so much for those kind words! As a main songwriter/arranger for my band, reviews like this give me confidence. I Can't thank you and everyone enough for always supporting us This thread has made my night!
