European indie rock crew
The Sign Of Leo have released a new official single about COVID-19,
“The Global Fight.” The single has been proudly published as an
independent release without the involvement of the corporate music
industry. Tinged with '70s soul and played way deep in the groove,
“The Global Fight” by The Sign Of Leo belies their usual modern
indie sound to deliver an anthem describing the 2020 pandemic in a
way no one else has yet achieved.
"The Global Fight"
by the Sign of Leo has also been released with an official music
video (link provided below).
The Netherlands' The Sign
Of Leo have cited as main artistic influences legends including David
Bowie, Talk Talk, Neil Young, and Tears for Fears, but “The Global
Fight” is a departure from this sound. Instead, “The Global
Fight” cleaves to Motown and soul music by titans such as the
Temptations and Marvin Gaye. Nevertheless, the overall spirit of Sign
of Leo is still ever-present and palpable in their new single, so
fans new and old will both find much to love in this new, socially
conscientious offering.
Asked to talk about the
inspiration for their new single, The Sign Of Leo write: “'The
Global Fight' was written to honour and support those fighting the
corona virus, everyone working in healthcare and nursing all over the
world, those who are working very hard to cure people from this
illness.”
The Sign of Leo's current
official bio describes them as an indie rock band from Groningen in
northern Netherlands.
“The band creates
a broad palette of sounds culminating in a melodic, atmospheric rock
sound with a melancholic touch. The music of The Sign of Leo is
rooted in the history of pop music with influences from the '60s and
'70s with faint echoes from the early '80s.”
Eurosonic writes of The
Sign of Leo, “You can hear the craftsmanship in all the songs, a
sign that they're really very good.”
Sign of Leo's debut EP,
“Fight the Tide” dropped in 2015, with their first full-length,
“Fields of Passing Time,” appearing in 2017. It's popular single,
“We All Have to Go That Way Some Time” was quickly noticed by
several radio stations. They released their sophomore LP, “Sunbeam,”
spring 2019. They are a frequent feature at European music festivals
and have appeared on several TV programs.
“The Global Fight”
by The Sign Of Leo is available from over 600 quality digital music
stores online worldwide now. Get in early, alt rock fans.
