MIRAGES RELEASE KILLER NEW TRACK “HOUSE OF CARDS”

Mirages, a 4-piece alternative rock band from Gloucestershire, UK, have released a hard-hitting emotional song with a clear message, “House of Cards.” This track starts super energetic and does not let up on you. A heavy guitar wall and strong yell-y vocals punch right through this genre-bender of rock/grunge/pop punk production. The lyrics refer to the foundation of love as a house of cards - delicate, fragile, and at a constant risk of collapsing. You can feel yourself on the edge of your seat with the imagery, making this quite an immersive experience for the listener. The final sentiment refers to giving in and letting someone go for the sake of moving on and getting better.

“And even after we worked so hard

We’re finding out it’s the same as it ever was

Find another to give my love

All my admiration and happiness

Wouldn’t even matter, I’m all used up

You’ve taken it all.”

Much like the lyrical content, the painfully relatable feeling will leave your head and emotions spinning after this song ends.

The band shared with us: “House of Cards is an energetic grunge rock song, with the music and lyrics representing an explosion of frustration at being let down by someone you've put your faith in, and about finally giving up or letting go.”

Tipping their hat to bands like Nirvana and Queens of the Stone Age, there’s a strong sonic recognition of more recent acts like Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, and Hot Mulligan.
