Music of the Day: Future Static - Roach Queen

Melbourne alternative metal/metalcore quintet Future Static make their hotly anticipated return with a turbo-charged, metal fuelled cover of Puerto Rican rapper Daddy Yankee’s 2004 global reggaeton hit, ‘Gasolina’ - out July 6, 2023 via Wild Thing Records. Accompanying the release, a high-octane music video directed by Colin Jeffs (Make Them Suffer, Alpha Wolf), spanning seductive scenes, dangerous motor acrobatics, and a gallon of attitude.Electrifying front-woman Amariah Cook, born in Melbourne and raised in Barcelona, unites the vastly different metal and reggaeton worlds of her upbringing; presiding over the track in fluent Spanish, creating a venomous, chaotic take on the latin worldwide smash. The release of ‘Gasolina’ doubles as the culmination of Future Static’s meteoric growth and artistic vision following the band’s recruitment of Amariah as its new vocalist in 2021, solidifying her as an integral part of the act’s core identity; following on from earlier acclaimed singles ‘Waves’ (2021) and ‘Venenosa’ (2022).
