In anticipation of their upcoming run of shows, which includes a March 3 opening gig for Low Cut Connie at SteelStacks, Philly-based alternative/indie rock four-piece TIOGA released their new song, “Young Man Now.”

TIOGA has shifted the gaze from their first EPs, Sycamores (2016) and Circadian (2017) to a more mature sound, exploring more of their influences while adding to their discography.

“Young Man Now” is the first single off of TIOGA’s upcoming debut full-length. The song is about feelings of youth and invincibility, about ignorance or disregard for the future, and the underlying reality of impermanence. While there is a tonal shift in the song, the refrain “young man now” is meant to emphasize and enjoy the “now,” while wrestling with what comes after.

Sonically, “Young Man Now” combines the anthemic sensibilitiesand rhythms of heartland rock with a new wave ambiance, providing a Bruce Springsteen-meets-Depeche Mode vibe accented by Greg Adams’ power pop baritone.
