KILL ME NOW - RIO GRAND
This talented Texas band makes its national bow with an impressive single that provides a perfect showcase for lead Danny Rivera’s earthy, heartfelt vocals that beautifully convey the emotional angst in this well-written ballad. The song looks at an impending breakup from the point of view of the guy in the relationship. He knows what’s coming and tells the woman she might as well go ahead and kill him because, figuratively, that’s what her exit is already doing. Rivera and bandmates Tommy Rennick, Fred Stallcup and Lance Leslie have a great sound, and this fine single serves as a solid introduction to one of the format’s most promising new bands.
