The great Cindy Lawson is bringing the heat! Back with her first new release since 2023's Don't Come Crying To Me EP, the Minneapolis rock legend makes her Hygh Tension Records debut with the powerful single "The Reckoning." Backed by her usual band (Jerry Lefkowitz on guitar, Dave Randall on bass, and Mark Devaraj on drums), Lawson is in full old school punk rock mode on this storming track. This is a song with a message, and it comes through loud and clear. "This song is for anyone who's been burned, betrayed, and silenced,” says Lawson. "It's that universal satisfaction when someone evil finally gets taken down. And for me, it's not just about them—it's about reclaiming the part of myself they tried to destroy." One gets the sense that this song is very personal for Lawson, and she sings the hell out of it. Her voice has never sounded better, and the passion she puts into this track will just about give you chills. When she screams, "Karma's a bitch, but so am I!", I can imagine a million formerly silenced voices erupting in deafening exultation. At a moment in the world where it feels like evil is winning, this song is an urgent ray of hope. Sooner or later, the reckoning comes.
