Serving as a pioneer for future artists, Drunken Logic welds multiple genres and musical influences together to cultivate his signature sound. From the brilliant mind of Jake Cassman, this project takes inspiration from 90s icons, like Green Day and Third Eye Blind, and blends them with indie rock, guitar pop, and piano. The alluring auditory result has led to Drunken Logic accumulating a dedicated following of supporters over his career.
Supplying music fans with another feel-good hit, Drunken Logic is back with his latest single, “Born Mad”. Immediately locking in its audience, the song kicks off with a sequence of guitar shredding. Suddenly, Drunken Logic’s mesmerizing vocals enter the mix, telling a powerful story.
Speaking on this story, Drunken Logic explains, “Born Mad” is my attempt to understand the mindset of someone who may go on to commit a mass shooting—a uniquely American phenomenon that is at once profoundly shocking and no longer the least bit surprising. The narrator is a profoundly alienated and angry young man, someone who feels trapped by society’s expectations of him and his own definition of masculinity. This song is a headbanger, and I’m proud of it, but it should make you feel uncomfortable the deeper you listen to it—it still makes me uncomfortable, and I wrote the damn thing.”
Taking a big risk on the theme of “Born Mad”, one has to respect Drunken Logic’s fearlessness when it comes to expressing himself through his music. Aiming to deliver more ground-breaking tracks in 2023, “Born Mad” is just a foreshadowing of Drunken Logic’s road ahead.
