Nastiriff<\/a>\u2019s new offering \u201cBed By Seven\u201d is about getting old, but not in that sad Bruce Springsteen kinda way where he\u2019s singing about his time down by the river. No. Nastiriff stare down the barrel of youthful bravado, and the result is a catchy, upbeat reflection on the passing of time.<\/p>\n

With a surprisingly danceable approach, the band showcase a new side to their sound, and we like it a lot. Imagine Queens of the Stone Age meeting early Kings of Leon, mixed in with the playfulness of The White Stripes for good measure.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry, there\u2019s still a healthy dose of straight-up crazy too. Vocalist Gavin Wilmers sings about a cat that does drugs, which, if you can believe it or not, is actually based on a true story. Wilmers reflects, \u201cThat felt like I\u2019d grown up, nursing this cat back to health, because I\u2019d never planned on being a parent. But the cat stumbled into my life, and when it needed me, I had to step up.\u201d<\/p>\n

With an accompanying visual that carries the band\u2019s trademark red and yellow colour palette, some gnarly skateboard shots figure in the video as a symbol for life rolling on.<\/p>\n

\u201cBed By Seven\u201d is a gentle reminder to let life run its course. Or, as the band puts it, \u201cThis is a song for people to mosh and reflect on.\u201d You couldn\u2019t get more contrary if you tried, and that\u2019s what makes it special.<\/p>\n
