We recently had the distinct honor, to check out the new single, “Cynical”, from UK, Hyper-Pop-Punk star-in-the-making Keeper , featuring  ‘emo-flecked pop’ queen Tally Spear. You can listen to “Cynical”Here You can watch the video for “Cynical” which, was shot and edited by Tom Redford below

We absolutely love “Cynical”, from Keeper, featuring Tally Spear. “Cynical” is one of those mesmerizing and electrifying songs that once you hear it , you can’t resist it. The perfectly placed melody and words make “Cynical” stand out like a perfect shooting star flying through the atmosphere. We were absolutely smitten.

South London’s Keeper explores the end of love, life and blissful childhood innocence in brand new single ‘Cynical’, written and recorded in collaboration with Tally Spear.

Written alongside Spear, Jon Cass (As Everything Unfolds) and Matt Thorne, ‘Cynical’ takes the shape of a 2000’s inspired pop-rock track – combining inspiration from the likes of Avril Lavigne and Busted with qmhyper-pop stars Aries and Ryan Hall. This blend of noughties nostalgia and glitchy maximalism creates unforgettable earworm material – key to the Keeper sound.

On ‘Cynical’, Keeper’s Emanuel Andrade shares ‘This song came to life about a month after a painful, drawn-out breakup—on top of the death of my Grandad and my Dad losing his job, which left my mum panicking about the house. That breakup – ending a three-to-four-year relationship – had me blasting tracks from the bands I used to love, drowning myself in nostalgia.’

Cynical’ was the first song I wrote that year, setting the sonic tone for the rest of the EP. At the time, I was still deep in the mess of everything – right at the point where I had finally ripped off the plaster. Lyrically, Cynical was easy. I was completely in my own head that month—overthinking everything and desperate for a verbal outlet. Cynical took a melancholic, self-reflective route; the true beginning of my healing journey.’

There is no better feeling than having a song hit so perfectly…. This is definitely the case with “Cynical”

Upcoming dates:

April 25th – Black Heart, London (supporting Newshapes and Glassbridges)

I wanted to work with a small team that I knew personally to help create my vision,” Sophie explains. “I wanted to come out of the gates with delivering something fierce and femme for my first video.”

Revealing a new layer of the expansive world of SOPHIE SHREDZ, the “EYEZ ON ME” video is exuberant and jam-packed with personality. Hoping to reflect the sentiment of the song and the idea of all eyes being on her, Sophie and MK landed on the idea of having an all-female basement fight club. “Somehow we convinced a bunch of girls to fight in a basement with me for 4 hours. It was perfect and honestly the kind of thing I would accidentally stumble into,” she quips.

SOPHIE SHREDZ is the project of New Jersey-born, Nashville-based vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist Sophie Ruggiero. She was raised listening to classic rock greats like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Heart, and became an avid guitar player by the age of 7. While her current sound certainly draws influence from the experimental electronic world of hyper-pop, she also imbues her songs with a tapestry of classic rock influences, like show-stopping guitar solos and driving percussive elements.

We can not get enough of the energy and authenticity that is SOPHIE SHREDZ . Everything she does is powerful and unforgettable. Make sure you check out the video for “EYEZ ON ME “ you will not regret it.
