Get Back Up – Tidal Volume

---

“I’m not afraid to fall down, I get back up”

One of the perks about being a music curator is unearthing new acts that are growing beneath the surface, but for some reason have yet to emerge. It’s really cool when an artist sends me a track that they feel would work on the playlist, and I agree. This is the first entry on the playlist from a track submission, the catchy and bass-driven “Get Back Up” by Tidal Volume.

“Get Back Up” works because it doesn’t try too hard. The guitar riff carries the song, coming in on top of punk-tinged vocals and blends in perfectly with the low end drum and bass melody. Tidal Volume works in the same vein of Foo Fighters, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Which is exactly what a great band should aspire to do. And by the way, this is your morning after song when you wake up (alarm clock-less) after quitting. This is the perfect "Me against the World" anthem, encouraging and defiant. Get back up.

About the Curator - Ben Young:

Ben Young lives a life of polarity. He has split his life between the coasts: half his life on the West (California) and half on the East (Georgia and Virginia). He has pursued careers in the art world (film school graduate) and the corporate world (executive with Fortune 500 companies). And he is Biracial, the personification of being two things at once.

Ben’s musical influences were formed by music loving parents, raised in a world of John Coltrane and John Lennon, James Taylor and James Ingram, Huey Lewis and the News and Prince and the Revolution. Saxophones, electric guitars, synthesizers, and breakbeats filled the air Ben breathed from birth. And being born one year after the birth of Hip Hop, Ben has been joined at the hip with the genre his entire life.
