Featured Tune: "Good Boy" from Wide Spread

Old School Swagger, New School Fire

Wide Spread’s latest single, Good Boy, is a glorious punch of hard rock that hits like a shot of espresso straight to your bloodstream. It’s gritty, groovy, and unapologetically loud, in the best way possible. After a decades-long break, this Austrian powerhouse has returned with the kind of swagger only a band born in the golden era of rock can pull off. And Good Boy? It's proof they’ve still got the fire and then some.

From the get-go, the track grabs you with a thick, muscular riff that feels like a nod to AC/DC, but there’s something slicker simmering underneath, modern production, a bluesy undercurrent, and a tight rhythm section that keeps things grounded and punchy. The vocals? Raw, confident, and dripping with attitude. You can almost picture the sweat-soaked stage, the amps crackling, and the crowd headbanging in slow motion.

But this isn’t just a nostalgia trip. Good Boy carries its influences proudly while sounding fresh enough to crank up in 2025 without skipping a beat. There’s a subtle sophistication in the arrangement, slight prog-rock twists and blues-infused licks that sneak up on you mid-track and keep things unpredictable.
