A raucously melodic rock success from Stripes, “Forever, It Won’t Change” invigorates with pulsing guitar electricity and shout-y vocal charisma. The Brooklyn-based band impressed with the single “So Fucked” last month, and continue to strut an ardent rock appeal with “Forever, It Won’t Change.” “I told you I don’t want to fucking change,” the confident vocals let out, traversing into a “never gonna happen,” glistening with hook-y charisma.
The fantastic track is made even better by cover art featuring a dog named Luna, a beloved friend of the band’s. “She embodies the yearning of the track; she’s an intensely emotional dog,” says singer Izzy MK. Drummer Dave Possehl also adds: “We yearn for love and security in the same way a dog yearns for a tennis ball.”
