“Road Rage” by Catatonia

I like to think I know a lot about music. I’m pretty much always listening to something, as it helps me keep my mood in check, so I’ll probably have destroyed my hearing by the time I’m 40. As such I wanted to do a weekly recommendation from classic rock to 70’s Japanese jazz. I recently remembered this song exists so I’ve been listening to it a lot to help me stay chilled, because surveys say there is no sound more luxurious than when singer Cerys Matthews says “roaaad rrrage”. Though the alt-rock band formed in 1992, it was in 1998 that they made it big with the release of their 2nd album “International Velvet”, which reached number one in the UK album chart while this song in particular reached number 5. The band broke up three years later though as Cerys Matthews went into rehab, though they’re remembered as a band with poetic lyrics about mental health. Plus as I’m almost done learning to drive this song is more relevant.
