Singles! War On Alexandria, “Give Me Company”

By Leave a Comment

Upon reading the announcement of a new single from Boston’s War On Alexandria, I absent-mindedly favorited the track over on Spotify without even giving it a listen because what they’ve already accomplished with their small body of work thus far has instilled the kind of confidence to do just that. In fact! It’s that kind of blind trust I have in them that almost compelled me to compose this post solely on the merits of their previous work. But that wouldn’t be fair to them. Or you!

Fans can thank The Cure-Alls’ guitarist Steph Curran and Johnson’s own cat, Ginger, for this rockin’ little ditty that’s just the latest in a slew of excellent new singles released since Talk Talk Talk dropped in 2018. Originally slated to be on an upcoming acoustic album by Johnson, the track was reconstructed after Curran heard it and recommended an alternate version for the full band. Ginger comes into play as the content of the song delves into life on the road and a yearning for stability.

Everyone has different ways of celebrating Halloween. One of my recent traditions is to watch as many horror movies as (in)humanly possible…or at least 31 within the month of October.
