A hooky and warming alt-pop and rock sound shows on “Coward,” a memorable single from Casual Americans, a band formed in Athens, Georgia. “Do we wanna start a war? Because I might be a coward,” the vocals confess, venturing into twangy guitars and breezy vocals reflections for an easy-going melodic appeal. “It’s all a game,” they further during a warming hook; the glistening guitar strums and soaring vocal inflection exudes a ’90s nostalgic blissfulness.
“It’s so much easier to play along, and do nothing at all,” they contemplate an easy, yet less rewarding, path — though re-emerging with a vigor in the “I’m here to stay,” declaration. “Cowards” is a fully engaging success from Casual Americans, who intertwine a lyrical sense of perseverance with an approachably melodic rock and pop airiness. We’re looking forward to whatever’s next from this ascending project.
