You guys have been used to Ohio since our most featured artist is from Ohio (The Satellite Station). But it is true that we lack artists from this State where musicians are nevertheless very creative, musically speaking. And then, to be completely honest with you, it's been a long time since we posted something in our "Indie Rock" section. And we regret it.
So let's fix these two issues with a single artist! Let's meet Joel Borton, better known as Distance Sprinter, from Cincinnati, who offers us the super catchy "High Roller", released today on all platforms.
Yes, from the first listen, you will be caught by this fabulous hook in the chorus. You will shake your head without even realizing it. And you will sing alone, we promise!
About the song, Joel told us that "it's about love and relationships being a rick or a gamble. You really have to bet every ounce of your emotional well-being to commit to being with another person".
And you? What sacrifices are you willing to make your relationship work? With a fantastic production, which is said to be inspired by The Killers, scores points! It is true that on the side of electric guitars or vocals, we could find a slight resemblance to Brandon Flowers and his friends. But we find that there is a little more to Distance Sprinter. That little something that gives the song a special taste: authenticity.
"High Roller" is a safe bet if you want to update your rock playlist with flair and originality.
