Blacktop Mojo have premiered a new song titled “The End.” This track is from the band’s new EP “Static,” which will be released on May 29. In addition to “The End,” that effort will also feature: “Watch Me Drown,” “Leave It Alone,” and “Signal’s Gone.”
Matt James said the following about “The End”:
“The song was written after a break up. We had just gotten the opportunity of a lifetime and the break up had occurred a few days prior to us receiving the news. When we went in to rehearse that day it occurred to me that that person who had been there for many of the band’s ups and downs, would no longer be sharing in those ups and downs with me. That thought put my chest in a vice grip.
The guys started playing what came to be this song and I took all the anger and mixed up feelings I had about the whole thing, and the first thing I yelled into the microphone was the first verse and chorus of this song. I’ve never quite had anything pour out of me like that. When the guys stopped playing, though, I felt like a huge weight had lifted off of my shoulders. Like I had taken the first step in pulling myself out of my funk and started walking towards the things that were to come. I hope that anyone listening that’s struggling with some darkness of their own might glean some sort of catharsis from yelling along to it as well.”
