NYC-based artist Paul Maged has impressed with numerous tracks in the past, ranging from accessible alt-rock to harder-edged material with socially conscious lyrics, like this year’s “The Glass River.” His most recent foray is “The Resistance,” a piece of political commentary that certainly echoes the aforementioned track’s socially conscious tilt. This is a hard-rocking effort with ample lyrical angst, reflecting on how politics has the tendency to tear the country apart, releasing in time for the midterm elections. If you’re into alternative-rock with a political emphasis, “The Resistance” may be your cup of tea.
The track is also featured in the genre-based, best-of Spotify compilation Indie Rock.
