Back with their own kind of vengeance and that newly-single glow, Minneapolis’ Gully Boys channel anger and tenderness into ‘Love Me 2,’ their own, Gully-fied version of a breakup anthem out now. It’s a fierce soundtrack for those brave enough to demand emotional maturity and mutual respect, and arrives just a week before the four-piece hit the road with Skating Polly.
Musically, ‘Love Me 2’ uses sharp riffs, anthemic hooks, and gut-punching sincerity, drawing on influences like Paramore, Metric, and Foo Fighters, to get its message across with unflinching conviction and confidence. It’s a song that cuts deep, tapping into the universal feeling of heartbreak, while remaining quintessentially and galvanizingly-Gully.
The accompanying music video for ‘Love Me 2’ stars Justin Courtney Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack as an unknowing grocer who encounters the Gully Boys squad on a mission to, uh, reclaim their power.
