The Modbeats release their vibrant new single ‘The Setting Sons’
Rising rock quartet The Modbeats continue their ascent with the release of their latest single ‘The Setting Sons’, a bold fusion of neo-Eastern riffs and power-pop sensibilities that bridges classic rock nostalgia with a fresh, modern edge.
With an opening riff heavily influenced by Jeff Beck’s iconic work on The Yardbirds’ ‘Heart Full of Soul’, the song builds into an anthemic chorus, punctuated by intricate Rickenbacker guitars and a Stratocaster solo that balances precision with restraint. The track’s vibrant sound is further elevated by Bryan Haring of The Gaslight Anthem, who contributes vocal harmonies on the chorus, adding depth to its already commanding presence.
Frontman and songwriter Philip Dunn shares the inspiration behind the track, “The world has gone mad, but at least we can still get in the car, blast our favourite songs, and have our kicks for at least a little bit. For me, that album is Setting Sons by The Jam. Long live Paul Weller! Long live The Jam!”
