ReeToxA delivers another blistering track with Amber, a passionate song that fuses gritty grunge with the hard-hitting sensibility of Australian pub rock. Positioned as the third track on their stacked album, Amber stands out not just for its sound but for its noteworthy history. It was the very first song guitarist Jason McKee ever wrote, dating back to 1995, and its enduring energy proves it still stands up today.
The song’s inspiration is rooted in a deeply personal narrative of heartbreak and conviction. It was born from converting a love poem into a “three chords and the truth” type of anthem, written after Jason believed he had found the girl of his dreams, only for external voices to talk her out of the relationship. This context provides the track with a deeply passionate core, serving as an urgent plea to the titular subject to follow her own heart, rather than succumb to popular opinion or external pressures.
The resulting sound is a highly charged mix of genres that perfectly captures this emotional urgency. Listeners can expect a fierce, modern-grunge offering built on loud, distorted electric guitars rooted in an authentic, decades-old foundation of honest songwriting. It’s an easy standout on the album and is guaranteed to resonate with anyone who’s ever had to fight for what they truly want. Rock out to Amber now, available on all music streaming platforms!
