The Afro Nick's "Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)": An Anthem of Soulful Rock for the Restless

Indie rocker The Afro Nick, otherwise known as Nick Anastasakis, gives an electrifying performance in his latest single, "Get There Before Noon (LA Mix).". Not merely a mere tuning, this is a statement on the spirit of actually living life with a sense of urgency and seizing the present moment.

Originating from Crete, Greece, The Afro Nick has created an unusual concoction of his Mediterranean roots with the wrenching New York rock and the erstwhile pulsating indie scene of LA where he has hunted his music. He now represents rebellion in his music, and in "Get There Before Noon", he forefronts that spirit in a throbbing anthem about running after one's dreams all before that ever-elusive time limit.

The tune opens with a menacing yet infectious rift from the guitar. Nick's trademark raspiness, brimming with passion, gets through, though classic rock fans will pick out the audible flavors of Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones in it. The song still stands modern with an attitude like the Black Keys.

This LA Mix injects a new spirit into the driven track. Nick's resounding phrases are deep and dimensioned thanks to stout instrumental arrangements and richer synthetic ambient layers. It's a privilege to have George Athanas (bass) and Grammy-winning synth player Leo Genovese mixing it up with Nick's always-unstoppable delivery. The dynamics of bluesy guitar licks, rolling rhythms, and moody synth textures make for an outstanding experience.

"Get There Before Noon" is a man they will celebrate, a reference to the "get before noon" idea. This means that someday, "And on one day, you gonna miss that day," you surely will not have a tomorrow. This song acts as a cue, sounding there: "Get up, do not delay; start doing something before it's too late." 

With "Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)," The Afro Nick continues to prove why he is an up-and-coming one to watch. This track is both sonically compelling and thematically heavy for how he melds together gritty rock energy with introspective lyricism.
