Slow Burning Car has released a new single entitled “Public Cynic” from the upcoming album “Projection”. This is a powerful rock meets grunge-metal track. The lead guitar riff is addictive and really drives the momentum and nature of the track. It has a diverse and ever-changing flow that I find very appealing. The drums sustain the momentum built up in the track and accompany the bass and lead perfectly. At the center of this track are the vocals. They paint a vivid narrative for the listener to connect and embrace. This is a highly recommended track and I am looking forward to the upcoming album ‘Projection’.

But regardless of politics, it...
