Looks to be the third single from Sound Of Change, now under Cool New Music.

This isn't bad but I would have rather seen "Franco Eyed" or "Burn Slow".

Not bad but "Dark Days" and "Franco Eyed" are a lot better. Kind of surprised they're bothering with a 3rd single after "Sound of Change" struggled.

Oh the audio under Cool New Music is more upbeat. It gives it a faster pace and adds in some drums and more.

Good song, but I wouldn't have chosen it personally. I think "Radio" or "Burn Slow" would have been better.

The song isn't abysmal and it reminds me of another past hit, but truthfully ; this band has never really done anything for me musically, so I'll hold out on the download. damn it , what's that song in the melody? Anyone?

A bit mellow, but they can't all be tropical bangers, can they? Download? Check!

With all this wishy-washy reaction to this song, I want to state that I immediately fell in love with the song, that this looks to become 1 of my favorite songs out now, it is my favorite song from Dirty Heads so far, & it makes me want to buy the album, having liked the previous releases, too, though not as much as this one.

I'm not kidding when I say this, but I really think this could have been a huge hit back in like the 90s or early 00s when this kind of rock was popular. I get a real nostalgic vibe from this (well nostalgic for me lol). In some spots, I feel like the vocals sound similar to Tonic's "If You Could Only See".

Look at Pepper's "No Control" hitting #19 on Alternative or anything that Sublime released in the late-90s. Ten years ago, I definitely think them and Sublime with Rome would be charting a lot better.

This is really struggling... Could be their first single to not chart on Billboard

If "Check The Level" was an official single, it missed it too.

This is probably done. It's gone from the Mediabase Top 50.

I'm really late on this one...I've been ambivalent about their other singles but I stumbled across this in Summertime Madness & probably would've never heard it otherwise ... I love this song!!!

Oh god. Now I know why this did nothing. The radio edit is so fast paced and ruins the whole feel of the song. It would have been better if they just added drums and stuff.

If you have All Access, you can hear it. If you don't, just imagine a song on YouTube that is sped up to surpass copyright. Basically what it is with additional drums lol.
