Capturing the intensity of boxing and spirited competition in general, “Punch Out” is a rousing rock success from A.D.A.M. Music Project. As the title suggests, the band drew particular inspiration from the classic Nintendo game Punch Out. The track’s enthusiastic, playful music video bolsters the release in exciting, knockout form as well — depicting the band performing in a boxing gym, and with boxers that bear some resemblances to Punch Out characters of the past.
An invigorating push of guitar distortion and clamoring percussion complements a motivational vocal ethos, declaring “I gotta win.” “There’s no time to catch my breath, every punch, every blow…” they continue with ardent captivation, rousing into the “gonna punch it!” hook and bell-ringing. The “bell tolls,” cinematic-feeling vocal deepness excels in building further momentum, into a final impactful sequence, where a dizzying guitar solo scorches into a final hook. “Punch Out” is a fervent success from A.D.A.M. Music Project, an impressive project led by Adam DeGraide and Dameon Aranda.
