With an immense forward momentum, an addictive groove, and abundant energy, ‘Paralyzed’ is a fantastic new rock release from Australian collective Satellite Train that brings their wide array of talents to 2025.
A Melbourne, Australia based musical outfit, Satellite Train is an indie rock collective composed of collaborators from such iconic acts as Icehouse and AC/DC, Paul Kelly, and The Black Sorrows, alongside American Collaborators as well. The collective’s latest concoction is a sweet and momentous piece of powerful indie rock that features fresh-faced chord sequences and some soulful vocal yells.
‘Paralyzed’ is a song that -contrary to its title- is in a constant state of motion. Thanks to its involved drum part that’s manic and powerful, the song features a consistently moving groove that is further supported by the gentle gallop of its bass line. The chords and the spacious synth pad atmospherics only serve to amplify the song’s forward push. The fantastic production on this cut makes it sound just beautiful. The powerful vocals take the centerstage, supported from the back by the powerful rhythm section, guitars on the side delivering power chord riffs here and melodic phrases there, and the airy synths establish wide space from the back of the mix. A beautiful balance.
Satellite Train’s ‘Paralyzed’ is a driving song with an infectious groove and beautifully crafted melodies. A song that got us excited for the outfit’s plans for the rest of the year.
