Swedish act Tahoma deliver an anthem about resilience on new track “On a Roll,” a summer-y rock success. Per the band: “It explores a complex parent-child relationship, using sharp dynamics to mirror the journey of outgrowing a difficult past: stripped-back verses act as childhood snapshots before exploding into choruses that celebrate the strength of moving on.”
Suave guitar twangs and warming bass pair with steady percussion as the track gets underway, gearing up thereafter into a more expressive, soaring guitar mixture — twanging and jangling into a memorable vocal entry. “Snake and bad connection, yellow plastic floor,” the vocals unveil alongside a bass-fronted intrigue. The track compels in its shifts between more subdued verses and vibrant rock hooks, evident in the “I’m on a roll tonight / I got this feeling everything’s gonna be alright” optimism — though culminating in a feeling that “something ain’t right.” “On a Roll” is a memorably, catchy success from Tahoma.
