SINGLE REVIEW: The Xteriors – Find The Strength
‘Find The Strength’ feels like the kind of song that bleeds honesty through every imperfection. It’s churning, fuzzy, and full-bodied — guitars rumbling beneath a dense wash of reverb while the vocals, rough and unvarnished, deliver something genuinely human. There’s grit here, but it’s not postured; it’s the sound of someone pushing through, capturing emotion first and worrying about polish later. That choice pays off. Every word hits harder because it’s imperfect.
The track carries a simple message — resilience, self-belief, perseverance — but it’s delivered with real weight. The performance feels cathartic, like a personal pep talk shouted into the void and echoing back with newfound strength. There’s warmth buried under the distortion, a sense that the imperfections are part of the song’s soul. It’s DIY in the truest sense, built from passion rather than precision.
What makes The Xteriors compelling is the intent behind it. You can hear the independence in every detail — from the 512th-note drum sequencing to the self-devised approach to theory. It’s a project clearly built on individuality, determined to make something unrepeatable. ‘Find The Strength’ might be raw, but that’s the point — it’s the sound of someone refusing to let technology or expectation shape their art.
‘Find The Strength’ might be raw, but that’s the point — it’s the sound of someone refusing to let precision outweigh passion. Every rough edge adds to its impact, turning imperfection into purpose. The Xteriors feels real, heartfelt, and full of promise — proof that emotion and authenticity will always cut through the noise.
