Single Review "Humburg" by ReeToxa
With their
latest single “Humbug,” Reetoxa deliver a raw slice of rock that feels
both nostalgic and refreshingly honest. Rooted in the raucous spirit of the
70s, the track captures the chaos, vulnerability, and humor of modern dating,
all while channeling the timeless energy of classic rock.
The story
behind “Humbug” is as authentic as the music itself. A fleeting crush
and a slip of the fingers during a rehearsal session sparked the riff that
became the backbone of the song. What might have been just another practice day
turned into a lightning-in-a-bottle moment for Jason McKee, who penned the
track in under a minute before spending the rest of the session simply basking
in its resonance. That spontaneity is alive in every note—unpolished in the
best way, brimming with feeling.
Musically, “Humbug”
shines with stellar guitar work from James Ryan, who takes the original riff on
a journey “to Saturn and Mars” before landing it firmly back on earth. The
rhythm section keeps the groove grounded, locking in with swagger and drive,
while McKee’s vocals cut through with earnest longing and a touch of grit. It’s
the perfect marriage of emotional storytelling and classic rock bravado.
Already
making waves at live shows and open mics, “Humbug” is more than just a
catchy rock track—it’s proof of Reetoxa’s ability to turn personal moments into
universally relatable songs. Put on your headphones, turn it up, and let this
anthem remind you of the messy, hopeful beauty of falling for someone.
