Vancouver Alt-Rock Outfit LA Solution Center Share New Single “Slow Squeeze”

Vancouver alt-rock act LA Solution Center have released their new single “Slow Squeeze”. Influenced by the likes of Chevelle, Twenty One Pilots, and Queens of the Stone Age, the gritty, arena-rock track is a bold and emotive track that combines the irresistibility of pop music with the fist-pumping guitar riffs of hard rock.

Composed of studio owner Dan Ponich, his fiancé Megan Emanuel on shared vocal duties with vocalist Andrew McSherry, and drummer Adam Parent, the punchy alt-rock track is a whirlwind combination of guitars, horns, drums, and soaring vocals for a wave of power.

When asked what ‘Slow Squeeze’ is about, Megan responded, “Slow Squeeze is about the precarious nature of existing as a woman – contending with the simultaneous and contradictory expectations of virginal propriety and sex appeal, balancing the oxymoronic roles of nurturing motherly figure and sultry living sex fantasy. We are told that our worth lies in our ability to arouse men and to bear their children, and then we are told these actions are mutually exclusive; one cannot be both at once and, thus, can never be of whole value. It’s a game, a manipulation, a slow squeeze.”

“There is this line, “are these strong enough” I was thinking about what kind of drugs I would have to take to forget how anxious being a woman in the world makes me. It’s about getting even with society and what that feels like.”
