Today’s song is “Wake Up” by Approaching Troy.
The Long Island quartet is bringing the rock. Their music has faint echoes of predecessors Taking Back Sunday, Glassjaw, Bayside and Brand New.
While the band may have a similar sound, they do hold their own on this track. Packing a punch with a blend of post-hardcore and pop-punk elements to create, I am a sucker for this high energy single. It had me at the first chord.
This track is off their upcoming sophomore release Best Intentions. The band will be playing a hometown album releass show on August 19.
