The Straights have always been known for their high-energy performances and raw, unfiltered sound, and with their new single “Remedy,” they take that to new heights. The track is a masterclass in blending Garage Rock, Alternative, and Indie influences into something that feels both classic and forward-thinking. There’s a palpable sense of urgency in every note, from the blistering guitars to the tight, driving rhythm section. “Remedy” is a loud, messy, cathartic anthem that captures the spirit of a generation determined to find salvation through noise and rebellion.
Formed in Portsmouth in 2019, The Straights have already earned a reputation for their electrifying live shows, and “Remedy” is a perfect reflection of that energy. The song opens with a gritty guitar riff that immediately sets the tone for the track. George Years’ impassioned vocals add an extra layer of intensity as he delivers lyrics about personal chaos, frustration, and the search for healing. The song’s themes will resonate deeply with anyone who’s ever felt broken, and the band’s performance gives those feelings an undeniable urgency.
Lyrically, “Remedy” reflects the band’s journey and their understanding of the need for emotional release. It’s a song about healing through music, sweat, and spirit — and it’s that raw honesty that makes it so compelling. The track is messy and loud, but it’s also deeply authentic. There’s no pretense, no polished veneer here; just four musicians throwing everything they’ve got into a song that’s as much about the process of making it as it is about the end result.
The Straights’ evolution as a band is evident in “Remedy.” While their early singles established them as a force to be reckoned with, this track shows the band’s ability to grow while staying true to their roots. It’s a perfect balance of old-school rock ‘n’ roll energy and modern sensibility. The Straights know how to make their sound feel fresh without abandoning the elements that made them stand out in the first place.
With “Remedy,” The Straights prove they are one of the most exciting rock acts on the UK scene right now. The track is a statement, not just of their evolution as a band, but of the power of music to heal, to energize, and to rebel. If “Remedy” is any indication, The Straights are just getting started, and we can’t wait to see where they go from here.
