The London circuit of rock music is amongst one of the busiest, as there are a lot of bands trying to get competitive in the music business, but very few artists are really standing out. THE KANZ is a true gem of the London punk rock scene: they are powerful, energetic and fun to watch! Today, the band is back with their new smashing punk rock single “Carpe Diem”, and we’re pleased to give you its first listen below. Check it out and play it on your Spotify here.
This single is a fast rock song inspired by the dramatic tones of Musical Theatre mixed with punk rock underground scene and has already proven a good success in their high energy live shows; it’s true to their punk heart and it always brings the public to dance, in fact, when “Carpe Diem” is playing, their fans know that it’s time to shake your booty on the dancefloor!
Fabio Nania said about the song
“Everything is a mess. This song is a mess. If you’re asking yourself “What the f**k is going on?” then you should take this opportunity and just.. Carpe Diem.”
Why this song? Why not! I mean, now days people rarely go to the theatre, first of all because it cost a lot of money and secondly.. mmm.. well because they are maybe too broken or drunk to follow what’s happening on the stage! but We all still love theater don’t we???
The track’s lyrics are about grabbing everything you want from your life, inciting listeners to aggressively react to boredom, fear, society and anger by dancing crazy like your hair is on fire! It’s a reminder for realising opportunities and be fast enough to catch them.
Listen to the new track below and catch them live next week! The Kanz will play at the Engine Rooms the 14th of December and at the Mascara Bar on the 10th of January in London.
Carpe Diem brings a fresh breeze of Musical Theater into the punk rock underground scene, it s dirty, it’ s naughty, it’s sexy, unreal and beautifully dangerous. The track that makes you want to shake your butt on the dance floor. The track that makes you want to scream out loud CARPE DIEM! and grab everything you want from your life. aggressively reacting to the nausea, to the boredom, to the fear, the f**ked up society, the anger, the rage, the main stream shit and makes you just dance crazy like your hair is on fire! I suggest you also experience it during a live show where you can sing along while such a high-energy live band like The Kanz keeps on jumping on the stage and using guitars and bass as they were kalashnikov ak 203 or baseball bats! (just kidding lol) There is no time to waste your time,There is no time to waste your life. Life is now! CARPE DIEM is your motto! and you want to keep this song with you and use it as a reminder for moving your ass once again when you start realising that opportunities are everywhere and You just need to be fast enough to catch them!
Recorded at Puzzle Factory Studios in Seven Sisters London. with 2 times award – winning Sound Engineer Dax Liniere and mixed by Bruce Rintoul. Mastered by Ed Woods.
“Carpe Diem” Lyrics:
Waking up alone I find there s no milk left for me
I am collapsing ,it s the last day, I have wasted time to dream
And it s gone away
Trying to forget it I ll hide everything I see
But believing in the lies makes me lose what I want to be
And it s gone away
Mum has always said that if I want to be a man
I should live my life on everyday but I don t understand
Cause time is like a roadrunner and it trashes what I have done
And I am asking: what the fuck is going on?
If I wanna be free and better
To show that I don t bleed like others
I need to enjoy my life so harder
Living days as if they were the last
Fading is my rule when all the teachers tell me off
I don t care and I ll be silent and they all can suck a cock
And it s gone away
But if I make it funny everything becomes so cool
And I am sure that God will see and say to me that I m not fool
And it s gone away
Standing here alone I am writing songs about the time
Should I use it to reflect or should I get drunk for tonight?
It s such a wicked game cause you don t have some help to call
Still I am asking: What the fuck is going on?
Who – uh!
Standing here alone I am writing songs about the time
Should I use it to reflect or should I get drunk for tonight?
It s such a wicked game cause you don t have some help to call
Still I am asking: What the fuck is going on?
(Waking up alone I find there’s no milk left for me)
(Standing here alone I am writing songs about the time)
If I wanna be free and better
To show that I don t bleed like others
I need to enjoy my life so harder
Living days as if they were the last
Don’t waste your time and seize the day.
