āThe Futureā was the first of three singles released ahead of Superdrag singer John Davis’ new solo record, JINX. The shoegaze element beats out the pop.
Reminiscent of souped-up Supergrass or the Damned at their fastest. Sped-up ā70s punk with raging guitars, high-pitched vocals, and a call-and-response chorus.
Guitars abound on this release, and some of does cross over into metal/hard rock territory, but the licks are so buttressed with sugar, you may not notice.
āVilifiedā sports grungy, twisting rhythms and mean riffs. Cantrell is accompanied by bassist Robert Trujillo and former Dillinger Escape Plan drummer Gil Sharone.
