In The Spotlight

Social Gravy – “These Are The Times”

Consisting of Brad Kohn from the UK and Vee Bordukov from Belarus, this alt-rock duo is now based in Los Angeles. Brad began playing piano aged 6 and has worked with artists like Neil Young and the Foo Fighters. Vee is trained on guitar and fell in love with the blues-rock of J.J. Cale and Eric Clapton. They met in L.A. in 2014 and have been honing their melodic rock sound since. Inspired by Coldplay, The Beatles and The Black Keys, they debuted with their album “Behind Every Yes” in 2017.

Lyrically celebrating the ecstatic emotions that reconciling a past romance conjures up, their new single is an absolute delight. Drawing us into the amorous story is a mellow acoustic guitar, warm beat and a touch of organ and leads us to the full-bodied chorus. Touched with a dash of melodic nostalgia, the intoxicating drums, inviting guitars and choir-like backing harmonies wrap around you like a blanket. And with a slight husk in the vocals, this warmhearted rocker is a must-hear!
