Do you love Punk? because we do. The good all classics and the new wave of punk music. Strangelight is one of them.
This Oakland-based band just released the single “Gratitude Practice”, and it’s exactly what punk should be: raw, irreverent, and brutally honest.
This track dives into the monotony and ironies of work life, expressing that universal urge to rebel against the mundane. Strangelight combines their sharp lyrics with an intense, unfiltered sound, making “Gratitude Practice” a standout track for those who crave punk that cuts through the noise.
In the video, The band brings a mix of gritty visuals and in-your-face performance, capturing the raw frustration of a reality where every workday feels a little too similar. The music, powered by buzzing guitars and rapid beats, amplifies vocalist Nat Coghlan’s sentiments on resisting routine and the pressure to feel grateful in uninspiring circumstances.
“Like most of the album, this song was conceived during 2020’s covid lockdown. My very well-meaning manager began a team meeting asking us to share what we were grateful for, and it just totally backfired with me. At that moment, sitting on Zoom in a one-room apartment, not sure if I should wash my groceries or not, I did not feel particularly grateful”.
