The Voidz – “American Way”

The Voidz – “American Way”

In May, before making their post-pandemic return to the stage, the Voidz released new single “Prophecy Of The Dragon,” a song that blurred Casio-esque drum machine action and crushing thrash guitar into some kind of ’80s vision quest. The song was available for purchase on a “very limited” CD single (retail price $21.99, jeez) also containing a B-side called “American Way.” Yesterday, on July 4, the Voidz released that song to the internet as well.

This one’s a ballad built around woozy guitar that sounds like a keyboard, like some kind of water-damaged version of “Is This It.” It also sort of reminds me of Hail To The Thief-era Radiohead? Casablancas begins, “Well it’s true what they say/ The American way/ Is built on someone’s tears.” Listen below.
