Nonunion

Sonar Red is quite scintillating on the mighty survival anthem ‘Asleep at the Wheel’

Taken off their explosive 12-track release called ‘Nonunion‘, Sonar Red urges us all to wake up from that sleep-filled slumber that could destroy humankind if we don’t switch on now while we are ‘Asleep at the Wheel‘.

Sonar Red is a UK-based alt-rock/post-industrial duo who make the type of genre-bending soundscapes that feel so brilliantly cinematic at each turn.

Sounding akin to A Perfect Circle, Muse and Radiohead; expect hard edged rock and electronica sitting alongside subtle, emotive and beautiful melodies.” ~ Sonar Red

With a quite striking single that needs to be heard far and wide, Sonar Red urges us to stop trying to seal the cracks and to reach out if help is needed. Showing that it’s okay to feel vulnerable in this crash-like world, this is an absolute gem of a song to give us some real clarity in a cloudy universe packed with evil paths that can lead you from your happy place..

Nonunion is the embodiment of the band’s year long creative process and represents the band’s unashamedly intense response to the experiences of our time; an existential exploration of crisis, disintegration, vulnerability and what it is to weather the storm.” ~ Sonar Red

Asleep at the Wheel‘ from UK-based alt-rock/post-industrial duo Sonar Red might be one of the underrated releases so far in 2022. This impressive band is at their educational best and thunder in with barraging riffs that are never too much to handle. Crammed with quality and featuring superb vocals that might shake your earlobes alive, this is a magnificent song that has so much glorious energy wrapped inside for us to ponder.

With a stunning surge of soul-healing brilliance that seems to gather pace throughout and lift you away from the poisonous infestation that is currently devastating the innocent world, this is a reminder that music really can change your perspective.
