Do you need an angry summer anthem? Do you need a moment of reflection? In typical pop-rock fashion, you can bring these feelings together and dance along to “StuckintheMiddle”, MONOWHALES’ latest song. The words “don’t look back” echo in the background in the chorus while the singer belts “I’m stuck in the middle, I’m chained like an animal”. The chorus is high energy and vibrant, perfect for those late-night summer drives on the highway. The song is reminiscent of classic Paramore songs with an Against the Current kick and if you’re into those kinds of bands, this is bound to be a new favorite.
The upbeat and powerful song has a meaningful story that makes you relisten to the song multiple times, using it both to jam out to and as an escape. The singer of the band, Sally Shaar, shares that the song was written during a personally dark time saying that the song is a culmination of their experience with “intergenerational trauma, self-doubt, and a constant struggle against a male dominated world”. Sally shares this story and makes clear the importance of music for us all, whether artist, fan, or casual listener. MONOWHALES hopes this song will help to set you free.
