SINGLE REVIEW: The Ded Kats - Wrong Side of Town
The Ded Kats bring a high-energy, genre-blending rocker with ‘Wrong Side of Town’, a track that mixes rock ‘n’ roll swagger with infectious energy. It kicks off with an upbeat tempo, immediately drawing you in with its danceable groove and vibrant rhythm. The pounding drums, courtesy of Canadian legend Jeff Burrows, push the track forward with bounce and attitude, while the lively guitar riffs are full of swagger and grit, giving the song an undeniable drive.
Originally penned on acoustic guitar, ‘Wrong Side of Town’ takes on a new life when the electric riffs and that iconic Gibson SG plug in. The track’s raw energy builds as it delivers catchy, toe-tapping moments, spiced up with bursts of a cute, almost playful guitar solo that adds a touch of fun without losing any of the track’s rock ‘n’ roll edge.
The addition of a Bobby Keys-style sax solo from Andrew Wasilewski gives the song a unique twist, injecting it with extra flavour and making it stand out in a refreshing way. Whether you’re into rock, punk, or just great grooves, this track delivers it all—making it impossible not to get swept up in its infectious rhythm. It's an anthem for anyone ready to crank up the volume and hit the road.
