There’s something about “Electric High” that makes you dig it, maybe it’s the middling between heavy yet melodic music. As if you are not a huge fan of hard rock like me, you’d still like it. “Rough Diamond” is to me like a diamond in the dust; I couldn’t notice it at first, but upon closer inspection, it shines. It may not have been a conclusion at first glance, but I know how to appreciate the true spirit of rock ‘n’ roll when I hear it.
What I enjoyed best about Electric High and their most recent release, “Rough Diamond,” is that they have two lead singers. They felt like they were battling, but their voices were in perfect harmony, with some funky vibes. The contrast between the delicate and extremely enthusiastic voices is remarkable. The electric guitar meets the drums’ heavy-handed groove to create these dynamic rhythms.
“I’m gonna be a rough diamond, diamonds don’t rust in the rain. Just I’ll be a rough diamond, diamonds don’t crack when they fall.” As I previously stated, I may not have enjoyed the music at first, but listening intently to the lyrics, enjoying the wild rock tones, and it all came to a conclusion that my mind kept repeating those words unconsciously.
If you’re into heavy rock, you’ll find this single perfect. As the high voltage rock band mastered the ideal rock tune. If you’re not, at the very least you’ll enjoy feeling with them that you’re a “Rough Diamond”.
