Good Music Radar – You Don’t Know.
Tom Road’s rock is retro, edgy, and refreshing. It is the banner of singer-songwriter and musician, António Rodrigues. Inspired by Pink Floyd, The Alan Parsons Project, Supertramp, Camel and later the music of Lee Ritenour, Dave Grusin and Fourplay, his music honors everything he learnt from and loved about them.
Melodic rock superimposed with pop punk, a groovy rhythm and even a hint of rock n roll. That’s the rolling design, the mix of fluid cultures. ‘You Don’t Know’ is Tom Road’s latest single, a track that playfully indulges the pain and hopelessness of unrequited love. It has that 80s/90s social scene and context to it. It nostalgically flows into the retro accents that he implements in the song.
So the stylistic quotients are deeply incepted by his passion, imagination, memories, and a will to play. The active rhythm in the verses gains gusto and an anthemic drive as it leads to the chorus. The riffs are hard and fuzzy, forming in a trough of dazing bass lines and popping melodies. Despite forming along the conventional format, he adds layers, details, and a sense of newness to every arc. Listen Now!
