Bringing back the rhythm, melody and chaotic structuring of their classic rock fusion, “The Flat Nasty” adds to their ever-growing musical catalog with the characterful “Take It That Way”. The song emerges with a joyful gentleness, songwriter Spike Summers sticks to their creative guns with holding nothing back – as was the essence of the rock or even alt-rock scene. As things move along, the song seeks to completely reinvent itself a couple of times over. The mood changes, the instrumentation drives this, the pace breaks down a little, there’s a sudden onslaught of space and bass-driven peacefulness, all before the song’s explosive hook crashes back onto the stage.

From a songwriting perspective, this sense of structuring combined with the story-telling works well in keeping your interest. There are no rules technically utilized, it’s creative freedom at a high, but it also works well – The Flat Nasty  is far from strangers to songwriting, and experience can really lead you down some unique and expressive pathways. The more you listen to this single, the stronger that hook section feels.
