“The Greeting crafts a space where ’90s grunge energy meets modern rock urgency – ‘Over’ sounds like the soundtrack to the kind of night that makes you fall in love with live music all over again.”
“Over” by The Greeting hits with the kind of raw energy that used to pack club venues wall to wall. This collaboration between Paul Dillon (pMad) and Liam Martin (Big Generator) creates a sound that feels both familiar and fresh – like finding your favorite leather jacket from the ’90s and realizing it still fits perfectly.
The track opens with guitar work that seamlessly blends ’80s power riffs with ’00s production values, while keeping that gritty ’90s college rock spirit alive. The production is clear and punchy, giving each instrument room to breathe while maintaining the song’s driving energy. It’s the kind of mix that’s become increasingly rare – where you can hear the band playing together rather than assembled in pieces.
Liam Martin’s vocals strike just the right balance, delivering the emotionally charged lyrics with authenticity rather than unnecessary theatrics. The song’s structure, moving from intimate verses to explosive choruses, shows The Greeting’s skill at crafting dynamic rock that’s both radio-ready and true to their alternative roots. There’s even a subtle nod to The Cure in some of the atmospheric moments, adding depth without losing the track’s rock foundation.
The guitar parts are particularly noteworthy – structured enough for new players to learn from but with enough complexity to keep experienced musicians interested. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to grab a guitar and play along, something that’s become increasingly rare in modern rock.
The full album is expected in 2025.
