I don’t usually review single
releases but since there were two great double singles that popped up, I
figured why not do a double RFR and shine a light on both of them.
The first is from one-man army
Titanosaur who continues his quest to take over the world one listener at a
time. The prolific multi-instrumentalist returns with the double single “The
World Is on Fire” along with B-side “Free Your Mind” (and, no, it’s not a cover
of the famous En Vogue song from the early ‘90s). The title track features Titanosaur’s
trademark, sludgy metal and comments on the state of the world today. “Free
Your Mind” is instantly recognizable as a Titanosaur tune and happens to be my
fave of the two. It’s got a slower tempo and has a doomier feel to it. The tracks
are out today at the affordable price of a dollar, so head over to Bandcamp and
open your wallet.

The second double single is from a Canadian band from Toronto by the name of Head and is titled “Burning Bridges”, paired with “Rockin Radio”. The title track is a cool, retro song with a psychedelic surf vibe featuring phenomenal vocals from frontwoman Elyse Besler, who also plays bass. The second cut, “Rockin Radio”, has drummer Hunter Raymond handling vocal duties. It’s got a completely different feel, with more of a punk/hard rock edge to it. This set of tunes is classic rock at its best and Head is a power trio that we should all keep an eye and ear on in the future. The double single will be out on July 22nd, so follow the band on Bandcamp to order it the minute it goes live. In the meantime, if you’re in the Toronto area, on that same date, the band will play a release show at The Baby G featuring special guests Freeways and Slug.
