Old Neon’s “Blizzards” is a sentimental dig at lost connection and a puzzled hint at a lick of closure. This track uses a contrast in weather to mourn a slipping relationship jammed by distance. Singing “there’s a blizzard on the East coast/ and you’re a million miles from home,” and “maybe the midwest wind blows you to a better life,” Old Neon compares East Coast and Midwest weather to seize any remaining communication in the relationship, tempted by hope. The vocals in this track offer a tenacity matched with a tempered vulnerability to ensure an organic sound that captures hearts and nods heads. This band plunges into each bridge without distraction and nails the pop-punk pace, punch, and lyricism. Old Neon eventually cries “I don’t even know who you are” in a satisfying pitch escalation that effectively guides the end of the track. “Blizzard” ends on electric strings suitable for a smooth loop, inviting listeners to hit “replay”. I can’t imagine the potential reset of gravity a live performance of “Blizzard” would cause- this song is absolutely curated for crowds.
Five strangers from Pittsburgh, PA have been ultra-motivated by their circumstances to improve their music, and now they attract listeners from across the US to support their sound. Old Neon just released “Resolution” on May 23rd, which is home to the stand-out song “Blizzard”. Their first release “Just Friends” was in 2022, and their most popular track on Spotify is “Warmer Weather”. Add Old Neon to your playlist and follow them for updates.
