Ain’t Complaining

Status Quo

A glossy, synth-heavy pivot toward eighties pop rock. The band's signature boogie shuffle is smoothed over with bright melodies and radio-ready production.

It's the Quo you know, but dressed up in shiny 1980s neon and synths.

A bright and unapologetically commercial celebration of melodic rock and good-time vibes.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden burst of Celtic-inspired folk melody that drives the chorus of Burning Bridges
The shimmering synth-pop intro of the title track that signals a departure from their heavy blues roots
The clean, jangly guitar interplay on Everytime I Think of You that feels more like pop than hard rock
