The latest from A. Swayze & The Ghosts, “Tell You All The Time,” is one part nu-wave vibe and one part pop-punk energy that is a celebration of self-reinvention and liberation. From their forthcoming album Let’s Live a Life Better Than This out on October 25th, the track burns bright with frenzied guitar riffs and pulsating drums that are insanely catchy.

The song’s origins as a “melodic experiment” have blossomed into a full-fledged anthem that reflects the band’s journey from a self-destructive past to a renewed sense of purpose. 

A. Swayze describes this transformation,

“‘Tell You All The Time’ is about my experience of learning that I’m far more of an introvert than I claimed. I felt like we were becoming a product, controlled, and I was no longer enjoying the fast booze and drug-fuelled lifestyle we had created. It wasn’t long after that I quit drinking and was forced to recluse while the world shut down. I found some peace and quiet and learned that was what I needed to function and be happy and experience love.”

The departure from a hedonistic lifestyle toward a quieter existence is captured in the track’s wonderfully chaotic and  controlled sound. It’s a masterclass in how to perfectly season a song with high octane guitar and bass, toe tapping beats, and booty shaking rhythms.

The infectious danceable anthem is a rally cry that encourages one to move away from past bad habits and focus on personal well-being. “Tell You All The Time” is the perfect soundtrack for one who is seeking to discover their true selves while embracing life’s joyful moments.
