The Indiana rocker Michael Paul Binz has unleashed the power of his punk-tinged alt-rock steeped in bluesy energy. His new single is ‘Cause U Are’.
On a run of singles ignited by the alt-country storytelling of ‘Plenty’, Michael changes tack with a vibrant, unstoppable arrangement that features full and cymbal-heavy drum rhythms, chugging riffs and the occasional metallic screeching electric guitar. Pounding on and plunging in, it is gritty and high-impact, absolutely brimming with unfiltered ferocity. It’s a true showcase of Michael’s technical ability, showing a new side to his style.
Michael shares, “The song is about the ever-growing relationship with someone, whether it be from the artist to anyone listening, but specifically his love for the cause, which is what makes him be as an artist and person. The cause and cause being a word used as a play of words because they are why I do what I do.”
Finding his feet through a blend of grunge, indie and alternative, as well as pioneering guitar songwriters across the decades, Michael Paul Binz has developed a confessional style that is wide-ranging and reflective, but also consistently anthemic.
