The Chelsea Curve - "Never Come Down"


When The Chelsea Curve promised it would have a big year in 2025, the band meant it! "Never Come Down" is the Boston trio's second new single in as many months, and it's a bit of a curveball. But here's the thing about curveballs: they make you very hard to beat! Out on Rum Bar Records, "Never Come Down" is the first CC song to feature guitarist Tim Gillis on lead vocals. And while the band is known for its punky mod-pop sound, this song takes things in a slightly different direction: think vintage later '90s Brit-pop with a pinch of '60s psych. This is the "biggest" the Curve has sounded on record. The guitars and drums are arena-sized, and so are the hooks. And of course, with this being a Chelsea Curve song, there's tremendous substance to the lyrics. The song is about about the desire to feel completely free and unlimited. Can't we all relate to the idea of opening up ourselves to every possibility and just feeling the electricity of life flow through us? Surely an unfettered life is a great thing to aspire to. This just might be your new personal anthem! A little birdie told me that we can expect some more surprising turns from The Chelsea Curve in the near future, so let's buckle up and enjoy the ride!
