Following a series of tremendous split singles from Rob Moss and Skin-Tight Skin, Moss has released a track that's 100% solo. Moss wrote, recorded, mixed, and played everything on "And The Lies Go Round." This is his first new original song since 2024, and it's a killer tune. We've come to expect everything from proto-punk to glam rock to post-punk from Moss. On this track, he's hitting a sweet spot for me: mid-tempo old school punk with a driving anthemic riff and a sing-along chorus. While Moss is often known for sarcasm in his lyrics, this particular song's message is more straight-forwardly serious. The song is about how people today are so quick to spread very damaging lies when they literally have no idea what they're talking about — and how this sort of thing can have very dire consequences. The lyric "And they believe/Everything that they've heard/Just like sheep/Standing in a big herd" could not be more spot-on. Since returning to the world of music back in 2020, Moss has developed a very distinctive style and sound as a lead artist. Fans of his excellent albums with Skin-Tight Skin ought to find this song very much to their liking.
