Texan rocker AUSTIN MEADE‘s latest song, “Almost Famous” is a nod to his working-class upbringing and draws upon a genuinely pessimistic perspective that has been inspired by both setbacks and achievements.
With tenacious guitars, a good slug of Texas charm, and Meade’s signature lyrical satire powering through the lines, “Almost Famous” supports every struggling entertainer that has been near the spotlight but has never actually been caught in its beam!
the spot-on antidote for anyone who has been bitten by the absurd pomposity that a life in rock offers…
The track masterfully combines the rawness of the downtown dive bar with the resilience of the put-upon performer who is up on that sequinned stage, and who is desperately trying to capture the buffooning pretentiousness of the rock ‘n’ roll industry.
With its pounding metallic guitars, country-wise chorus, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, and lanky tumbledown rhythms, this is the spot-on antidote for anyone who has been bitten by the absurd pomposity that a life in rock offers.
Austin comments on the new single:
“Some days you feel like you’re on top and some days you feel like nothing is going to work out. I loved writing this and calling myself out. What’s the point in making records if you can’t have fun with it?”
