The Modbeats Releases New Song “The Setting Sons”
New Jersey-based rock band The Modbeats, consisting of Philip Dunn (vocals/guitar), Joe Mandia (guitar), Scott Matison (bass), and Fizz (drums), released a new song “The Setting Sons” on February 20, 2025.
The song showcases a unique blend of Eastern-inspired riffs and power-pop sensibilities, delivering a bold, dynamic sound that pays homage to classic rock while carving out a space in the current landscape.
The track's opening riff is heavily influenced by neo-Eastern sounds. And on the track, the band utilized an array of iconic instruments and rhythm tracks, featuring a blend of Rickenbacker guitars, the 330/6 for the opening riff and the 360/12-string for additional layers.
The track was written and produced by Philip Dunn.- The band frontman Philip Dunn said of the song, “The world has gone mad, but at least we can still get in the car, blast our favorite songs, and have our kicks for at least a little bit. For me, that album is Setting Sons by The Jam. Long live Paul Weller! Long live The Jam! We wanted this to be a song that feels fresh but carries the timeless elements of classic rock. The solo needed to stand out without being overly busy, and the chorus ties it all together in a way we're really proud of.”
