From St. Louis Missouri, I introduce you to The Intrusion! Their debut single “Gemstone eyes” was released today and it’s a really cool and awesome song. This four-piece band is led by lead singer Max Michael along with his band mates Simon Wacker on bass, Logan Tyler on guitar and Preston Schepers on drums. They formed in 2021 and since have been playing at small venues around the St. Louis area.
“Gemstone Eyes” has a lot of blues infusion. Max Michaels has a huge range and very smooth earthy sounding voice which is perfect for the blues. The blues is the main root to rock n roll and that’s very prevalent in this song. “Gemstone eyes” is about being so infatuated with a woman that you can’t even function. “One look in your eyes girl I can barely walk”. Sometimes when you love a woman its dangerous and it hurts so good.
“Can you see what I see with your dreadful love for me”. The guitar solo reminds me of some of Hannah Wicklund’s music, its grungy but it still has that 70s vibe to it. My favorite part is the ending when Max hits his high notes with “Gemstone Eyes”. This strong debut single sets the bar really high with strong story telling and an awesome guitar solo.
