Shifting gears, TUBE AMP'D pays homage to their hometown of Leucadia, a small beach town just north of San Diego, California, in 'Bang Town'. This anthemic track captures the essence of beach life, complete with tales of dating scene antics, beautiful people, and the occasional surf session.
True to form, 'Bang Town' bursts with grit, urgency, and impulsiveness, mirroring the spirit of its subject matter. The addition of gang vocals adds a melodic touch to the track, providing a dynamic contrast to its raw energy. The epic solo showcases the band's technical prowess, serving as a testament to their musical abilities.
