Hertfordshire’s latest musical revelation, OLD MAN JR. storms onto the scene with their debut track, Hypertension – a sonic journey as exhilarating as its name suggests.
Old Man Jr – Hypertension
Formed in 2017 OLD MAN JR. comprises the talented trio of Ben Estherby on guitar and vocals, Matt Wells on bass and vocals, and Joe Raymen on drums and vocals. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic array of influences spanning Radiohead to Queens of the Stone Age, their music embodies a versatile fusion of sounds.
In their inaugural release, this dynamic trio has crafted a composition that mirrors its title’s frenetic energy. Hypertension isn’t just a showcase of their musical prowess; it’s also a poignant exploration of loss and the complex dynamics of familial relationships, making this song a lyrical and musical rollercoaster from start to finish.
From the opening bars, Hypertension barrels forward at breakneck speed, fueled by electrifying instrumentation and intricate riffs that compel listeners to headbang along. The synergy between the fast-paced drumming and wild guitar work creates an adrenaline-fueled experience that stays with the listener long after the song is over.
But it’s not just about the sound – the lyrics pack a punch too, weaving a narrative that resonates with raw emotion and authenticity. OLD MAN JR. masterfully combines songwriting prowess with an unbridled intensity that sets them apart.
“With Hypertension, OLD MAN JR. delivers a frantic alt-rock powerhouse that’s unfiltered, striking, and undeniably energising.”
Refusing to rest on the laurels of their solid debut, the band is currently gearing up for the release of their first album and a series of eagerly anticipated UK tour dates set to be unveiled shortly. With their momentum building, OLD MAN JR. is poised to be an act to follow throughout 2024.
