Kendra Sheetz Chicago’s BlackWristBand has released a new single off a new and debut album, My Escape. In the band, John McGeown does it all. He’s the singer and songwriter, the drummer, guitarist, and bassist.
The 10 tracks on the album are largely inspired by John’s time in the Navy.
“It shaped me in a lot of ways and stunted me in a lot of ways, too,” he says.
You can hear that battle in the new single, “In the Mouth of the Beast.” As John explains:
“The Beast is an ominous force that thrives on chaos and suffering. It questions the meaning of life and the role of faith in times of turmoil. It looks at real world problems that seem insurmountable, that reinforces a sense of impending doom. It is an indictment of the relentless cycle of negative news and the ineffectiveness of responses to it.”
Check out the music video for “In the Mouth of the Beast” below and catch BlackWristBand on April 10th in Chicago for a record release party!
