The Katies dropped the highly anticipated “Die Ultra” on Friday and I’ve been loving seeing the much deserved attention it’s been getting. Often times when a band has been a band as long as The Katies have, they sometimes run out of things to say in the musical sense, but The Katies are 100% always one of the exceptions in that regard. This band always seems to top themselves and re-invent themselves, all while staying true to who they have always been. To me that’s one of my favorite things about The Katies, a true rock n roll band making the music they want on their own terms. My favorite song of the record is the track “Hotel”. Often Jason Moore has a tendency to write darker lyrics that somehow give you a sense of hope when you listen to them, and this song displays his talent at that very well. I’d also like to add people sometimes confuse me with Moore(I assume its the hair) and I have to say that’s quite a compliment. Now if only I had his talent. I suggest you turn the lights down, pour yourself a drink and do yourself a favor and turn this one up NOW.
