“Reality Buzz” is a stirring new rocker from Future Theory, a band based in Lincoln, UK. Their past work features a range of successfully interwoven styles — from the heavy-rock vigor of “Rage” to the hazy suaveness within “Poison Jivey” — and “Reality Buzz” continues to showcase their powerful, wide-ranging rock appeal. With this latest success, they present one of their punchiest and immediate sounds to date while still retaining their dynamic edge, unveiling a range of trickling, moody guitars and bouncy bass into heavier rock moments throughout the production. The result is another standout from the band.
“Reality Buzz is about that overstimulated, disjointed feeling you get in modern life — everything’s speeding up, and you’re trying to stay grounded,” the band says. “It’s rawer and more upfront than anything we’ve released before.”
The track wastes no time showcasing a resonating, atmospheric range of layered guitars — emitting a crisp brightness in their twangy appeal amidst a bass-y rumination, which remains as a debonair vocal enters. “I’ve got my bills to pay, and you’ll take me away for free,” they let out, exuding a yearning to escape from the daily grind and capturing those aforementioned feelings of overstimulation. A roaring rock invigoration takes hold past the two-minute turn, where sweltering guitar buzzes add to the jangly mystique; the vocals deliver a more soaring passion alongside, then stepping back a scorching guitar solo enthralls into the track’s conclusion. “Reality Buzz” is a sturdy, replay-inducing rock success from Future Theory.
