A gripping rocker from Chicago-based band Sleeps While Walking, “No One’s Fool” builds from acoustic-set introspection into a rousing array of distortion-heavy power.
“You take another step, and go backwards too,” the vocals begin during the steady verses, channeling a ’90s alt-rock nostalgia while blasting into the cathartic hooky, refrain: “Say it with your chest: ‘I’m no one’s fool.'” Invigorating guitar lines add during the riveting final minute, capping off a success that has become a live favorite for the band, for evident reasons.
The standout track comes via the band’s new album, Sleeps While Walking, streaming below:
