Single Review: The Daybreakers “Take Two”

-Harriett

In the fall of 2018, Massachusetts based band the Daybreakers plan to release a concept album revolving around the story of a struggling band deciding to call it quits. There should be plenty of songwriting material to mine as the band, led by Kyle Murphy (lead vocals and guitar) and Matt Schairer (bassist) paid their dues developing their root rock sound in small clubs in the early years.

“Take Two”, the first single from the project finds the lead singer of the fictitious band pondering his future on the night of the band’s final show. From the engaging drum intro that melts into swampy guitar riffs, driving horns and strong vocals the song is infectious, making it impossible to sit still while listening. The writing is equally compelling as it conveys the bittersweet experience of leaving a dream behind.
​
“Tired of making no damn money,  calling it a hippie dream.  Tired of telling you I’m sorry, knowing what it doesn’t mean. You don’t have to wait much longer, I ain’t gonna let you down. Know this dream is harmless as long as you make it out.”

As you wait for their fall album release, you can follow the Daybreakers for updates on the band, their music and their shows on their website at www.daybreakersband.com
