The Going Rate keep their foot on the gas with “Road to Nowhere,” a horn-driven ska-alt anthem that leans hard into forward momentum while wrestling with self-doubt.
From the opening bars, the song surges ahead on punchy drums and fast-paced guitar, setting the tone for a track that feels equally restless and resolute.
The Going Rate’s brass section does the heavy lifting here, weaving tight harmonies that spiral around the rhythm section and push the song toward its soaring chorus. There’s a sense of movement baked into every transition, as if the track itself is searching for solid ground without ever slowing down enough to find it.
Lyrically, Road to Nowhere frames uncertainty as something to be challenged rather than avoided. The unresolved final chord is a smart touch, leaving the journey intentionally unfinished and inviting the listener to decide what comes next.
High-energy and reflective in equal measure, Road to Nowhere is a strong statement from a New York band that has spent years sharpening their live intensity and channeling it into something purposeful and propulsive.
