DSD May 5, 2017: "Young Lady, You're Scaring Me" - Ron Gallo
Shaun Cordingley
Welcome to the "Daily Song Drop": theguysfrom.com's song of the day feature where our resident indie music writer and former DJ Shaun Cordingley features a song every weekday that he feels you need to hear.
Young Lady, You're Scaring Me - Ron Gallo
Fuzzy, retro-inspired rock is so great to find, especially when it is done right, and "Young Lady, You're Scaring Me" by Nashville-based Ron Gallo is just that: this is indie garage rock at it's finest.
Give the Official Video a look below:
"Young Lady, You're Scaring Me" feels like a lot of that great late-sixties, fuzzed out, almost psychedelic rock mixed together in one modern, dirty rock song, with a bit of punk-snarl. The guitar is fantastic (and impossible to get out of your head), the lyrics walk the fine line between complex and accessible, making me think of a lot of those classic rock tracks I would hear driving around with my dad growing up.
Ron Gallo is one of those artists that I hope more people who endlessly tell me that "rock is dead" take the time to listen to; we are probably never going to get another Doors or Rolling Stones, but we are going to get bands that can make Doors-style rock, mixed with a bit of glam, and some punk, and it sounds pretty damn good.
Be sure to check out the full album Heavy Meta for more Ron Gallo; if you like "Young Lady" you will definitely find a lot more to dig on the album.
