The Plague's latest pop rock ballad "Float Right On By" is a poignant track reflecting on the journey from selfishness and seeking approval to self-awareness and responsibility, available now from FiXT.
"Float Right On By" is a powerful anthem that captures the raw emotion and complexity of surviving a near-fatal drug overdose. It navigates the rocky terrain of regret, pride, and the arduous path to starting over, all while reflecting on deep-seated memories and the quest for redemption. "This is song is about realizing how selfish I had been when consumed with getting approval," explainsThe Plague. "Although it's an older song it's still very relevant to me."
The track's lyrics reveal a deep struggle with chasing fame and seeking validation, leading to the realization of spreading negativity and feeling the weight of insincerity. There is a call for a mental reboot, liberation from the metaphorical assembly line, and personal growth. The song then shifts to acknowledge global suffering and the desire to make a positive impact, questioning if love can change the world and committing to using one's voice for change. A vow is made to break free from superficial validation, confront harsh truths, and embrace healing. The duality within—prepared to fight for change while seeking strength to love—is powerfully conveyed.
"Float Right On By" is a heartfelt anthem of self-reflection, growth, and the resolve to make a meaningful difference, another example of The Plague's ability to write emotive singles that will resonate with fans.
The Plagueis the brainchild of producer/engineer David Adam Monroe, a pioneer of Future Punk. The Plague’s post-apocalyptic themes portray the struggles of being human, encouraging people to break free of the superficial and to know they are not alone.
David has been playing music from an early age, highly encouraged by his parents, he received an electric guitar at age ten and took off emulating his favorite bands at the time;Greenday,Smashing Pumpkins, and other 90’s rock bands. His career took off at age 16 when a promoter got his high school band on the Van’s Warped Tour.
As a producer/engineer, David has produced records with many artists includingGlen Matlockfrom theSex Pistolsand multi-platinum engineerEarl Cohen. As a musician, he has toured internationally--including 4 years onVan's Warped Tour-- and has played with bands such asTony Levin,My Chemical Romance,Story of the Year,NoFx,The Used,Yellow Card,Three Days Grace, and many more.ThePlague's debut album Hope For the F.U.T.U.R.E.was released independently in 2017.
In 2018The PlagueremixedCircle Of Dust’s “Embracing Entropy” (feat. Celldweller), through artist-owned record labelFiXT.The Plagueeventually signed to FiXTin 2022, and re-released the debut album with remastered tracks, new art as well as bonus tracks throughout the 2023, ahead of a new album slated for release in 2024.
“My goal with The Plague was to make futuristic Christian rock, when I was producing bands in Boston, my assistant showed me Celldweller and said, "This guy is dope and reminds me of you!" I chased Celldweller's blend of synths and guitars, and that exploration process helped me discover my own sound. When I finished the record I emailed James (FiXTManager) with the spirit of a little brother and said, "Hey James, look! I self-produced a futuristic rock record that I'm releasing on my label! You guys inspired this!" By some wonderful miracle he was excited too!” - The Plague
