Saurian, the octopedal rock unit (aka four-piece hard rock band) from Dunedin, New Zealand, is poised to melt faces once again with their dynamic new single, Gobstopper. The band’s previous single Sheep’s Clothing may be hard to follow, yet Saurian is confident they can continue to captivate audiences with their unique sound and thought-provoking lyricism.
When comparing Gobstopper to Saurian’s previous single, Sheep’s Clothing, Jack from Flash-trax said in his review; “Gobstopper is a more gutter-punk growl, a street-mix anthem of frustration, disdain and exasperation with where this world is going – or not going, as the case may be”.
Gobstopper embraces the spirit of iconic rock legends from the ‘70s and ‘80s, while also infusing Saurian’s own modern edge. In a nod to modern glam rock icons, The Darkness, Gobstopper features a guitar solo that echoes Justin Hawkins’, fast-paced yet catchy melodies. The blistering guitar work intertwines seamlessly with the driving rhythm section, delivering an exhilarating performance that showcases the band's musical prowess.
At the core of Gobstopper lies a powerful message. The song aims to connect with those overwhelmed by the shocking state of the world, longing to shield themselves from the relentless onslaught of bad news and negativity. The chanted chorus of Gobstopper invites crowds to join in a unified voice and forget their troubles for a couple of minutes.
Recorded at Sublime Studios in Kurow, New Zealand, Gobstopper showcases the band's energy and attitude. Drawing on the expertise of producer, Steve Harrop, and engineer, Tom Havard, Saurian's latest offering combines a rich sonic palette with a raw and authentic performance.
Gobstopper, with its infectious energy, unforgettable chorus, and thought-provoking lyrics, showcases the band's evolution and solidifies their signature brand of hard rock. Get hooked on Saurian’s sweet new track, Gobstopper out now!
