THE HELLACOPTERS – “(I DON’T WANNA BE) JUST A MEMORY”

High-energy rock’n’roll royalty, THE HELLACOPTERS, are pleased to present a brand new single from their much anticipated new studio album Overdriver today.
‘(I Don’t Wanna Be) Just A Memory’ sees the band take on the (post)modern preoccupation with nostalgia.
Forgoing influences like the MC5 or KISS, ‘(I Don’t Wanna Be) Just A Memory’ nods more to powerpop pioneers THE WHO, THE RASPBERRIES, or even BADFINGER with its major/minor shifts, offering up hidden harmonic treasures while still beating to the ‘Copters’ signature driving pulse.
Like past favourites ‘No Song Unheard’ or ‘Carry Me Home’, ‘(I Don’t Wanna Be) Just A Memory’ reminds us of the band’s unique capacity to temper their furious paced action rock with a songwriting sensibility that transcends their genre.
Play it loud!
Of course there’s also an audio-visual treat in the form of a brand new music video for the track by director Emil Klinta, which includes behind-the-scenes footage from the recording sessions.
