The title to Needtobreathe's “Feet Don't Fail Me Now” is also fair request: those feet will be set to stomping in this new song.
This HitFix exclusive track premiere is from the Southern-hued rockers' forthcoming album “Rivers in the Wasteland,” due on April 15.
“'Feet Don't fail me now' is what we like to call 'maraca rock.' There is a constant pace to the song that makes you feel like you're running from something,” said band founders Bear and Bo Rinehart in a statement on the song, which is “about youth, ambition and fear of failure set to the soundtrack of a car chase. There's even a ZZ Top/'Knight Rider' moment in there that we're very proud of.”
Leading up to the release of “Rivers in the Wasteland,” Needtobreathe is dropping a song per day. In addition to “Feet” below, listen to what else the South Carolinians have in store on their website, which so far is a mix of chaos, beauty, simplicity, noise and emotion.
The relentlessly touring band is also likely headed to a town near you: dates are below.
