Hailing from Haugesund, Norway, is Mainstreet, and they are back with their brand-new single, "Living by the Sword".
... a highway-ready, 80s-inspired soft-rock anthem dripping with heartland charm and Springsteen-level warmth.
Having come out on the Friday just gone, this new song delivers a real, authentic 1980s hook with plenty of vibes that seem like they were perfectly designed for your road-tripping needs. With a strong guitar solo dotted throughout the track, you would not have expected this song to be recorded in a home studio, but rather in a studio in Nashville, Tennessee. There's that much charm going on!
The softer tone is channelling their icons, such as Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. With the overall structure of the track sounding like a perfect soft-rock song for the masses, there is nothing to hate on this track, and it's just 3 minutes and 43 seconds of pure rock bliss.
