Bantams, the Philadelphia-based indie rock trio led by Chris Rathke, have delivered a knockout with their latest single, ‘Rated RKO‘.
Part of their ambitious indie rock opera ‘Turn Heel’, the song is a compelling exploration of the highs and lows experienced by a fictional wrestling tag team. Rathke’s storytelling prowess shines through as he weaves a tale of unfulfilled potential and the bittersweet nostalgia of better days gone by.
Musically, ‘Rated RKO‘ showcases Bantams’ ability to craft dynamic and engaging indie rock. The band’s tight instrumentation, courtesy of Rathke and his collaborators James Hoag and Mike Vermeil, perfectly compliments the song’s narrative arc. The result is a track that not only entertains but also leaves the listener pondering the complexities of life and the pursuit of greatness.
