New Jersey-based band Won’t Say Rabbit compels with a no-frills rock charisma on “Just a Prisoner,” lamenting on the state of modern existence within a punchy rock and punk intertwining. “I’m just a prisoner of time, where nobody knows right from wrong,” Beth’s punk-ready vocal intensity lets out. “What do you do when you’re the last of a dying breed?” Feelings of angst and anxiety are palpable with a poignant modernity, set aptly within a dynamic punk-rock aesthetical fitting.
We live in a world “where people think about #1,” and tend to emphasize personal ego over the greater goods — and “Just a Prisoner” channels such frustrations with a contagious rock spirit, also noting the atrocity of war and strife in general. Melodic and relevant, “Just a Prisoner” is a memorable punk-ready anthem with highly relatable sentiments on the captive-like status of existing in today’s society.
