After nearly two decades away, Alternative Influence returns with their high energy single “Come On In & Join The Party!” This track is an amazing experience from start to finish and proof that great music still exists. From the first note, the band makes it clear they’re here to leave their mark. Vibrant guitars, powerful drums, and robust vocals explode on the track, all mixed with a polished, but raw garage rock feel. The lyrics are meaningful and well written and the atmosphere is so infectious you can’t help but move or sing along.
The accompanying music video reinforces the song’s theme of unity, as it shows a lively house party that brings people from all walks of life together. As the holidays approach, this celebration of togetherness is a much needed escape from life’s stress. This release is especially meaningful for lead singer Lee. His journey of recovery from stage 4 skin cancer has informed the upcoming album Love & Let Live, which promises more upbeat and inclusive tracks.
“Come On In & Join The Party!” is a triumphant and unapologetic return for a band that still has plenty to say. I found the song’s energy addictive and the message uplifting. This is a track, and a band, that you should be paying attention to.
