This weekend, Vancouver rockers Strange Breed share their new single “Reputation”. The stand-alone single follows their 2019 album “Permanence”. It centers around a disturbingly common modern-day scenario of an individual having their drink drugged by date, and being taken advantage of. The single will raise money for rainn.org in support of anti-sexual assault initiatives. Rainn is North America’s largest anti-sexual violence organization that supports abused, battered and homeless female-identifying individuals.
Lyrically, the single is clear and concise, describing a disturbingly common scenario that many folks will connect with. However, the chorus offers empowerment, strength, rage and hope through a very cathartic change in melody and lyrics. Sonically, the guitars are blazing, the drums are angry and the vocals are raging. It also features Strange Breed’s first-ever breakdown in a track, which is simply the cherry on top and creates the necessary tension that this song needed.
