‘Darker Side Of Your Mind‘ is the fourth and final single to be lifted from The Whiskey Syndicate’s debut studio release, ‘Right Side of Crazy‘, and right from the opening you know that it’s building up to something big. With a driving guitar riff throughout the opening couple of minutes, the band change it up a bit around the 2:25 mark as they lurch through an incredibly impressive guitar section, then it’s back to the powerful guitar presence of the opening at about the 3:20 point for the remaining minute of the track. It’s a powerful piece of rock music, a track that absolutely begs to be heard by all fans of rock music around the world; you can definitely picture the band playing this in front of a packed arena one day, and it’d be nothing less than the band truly deserves.
Not only are lead vocalist Ant Wright’s vocals absolutely brilliant throughout the entirety of the track, but instrumentally the sound is incredibly tight, too. As I mentioned before, throughout much of the track there is the same chugging guitar riff, but the whole time this riff is repeating you know that the band is ready to launch into something a little more expansive any second, and when The Whiskey Syndicate do finally hit you with it, it’s most definitely a very pleasing moment. The bassline slots beautifully into the sound; chunky, heavy, and at all times a delight to listen to. Everything about the track just really seems to fit, and for any fan of rock music, ‘Darker Side Of Your Mind‘ would surely be a huge treat to listen to.
The Whiskey Syndicate’s debut album has had a lot of positive press, and the general consensus seems to be that this is a band that is going to go far. There’s certainly a lot to rave about with this final single from their Right Side of Crazy‘ studio album, and The Whiskey Syndicate is most definitely a band well worth checking out sooner rather than later. This is a band that will surely be huge before long, so give this track a listen, give their debut album a spin, and I also strongly advise seeing this band live at the first opportunity you get as it’s bound to be a rock show that you’ll remember for life, and for all the right reasons, too.
