Giant Killers Shares “When This Time is Over” Live at Teddy Rocks Festival
Shot live at the Teddy Rocks Festival in Dorset in May 2024, “When This Time is Over” marks Giant Killers’ first video release in 28 years. The video blends vibrant live performance footage from the main stage with intimate, candid moments featuring festival goers and friends backstage. This combination creates a nostalgic yet triumphant tribute to the power of friendship and shared experiences, all underscored by the inevitable passage of time.
The live footage was captured with special permission from the festival organizers, as the band members were initially there to perform with other groups throughout the weekend. Teddy Rocks is a unique charity event where all profits go towards supporting children with cancer, adding a layer of meaning and purpose to the performance. The positive reception of Giant Killers’ performance at the festival has set the stage for their eagerly anticipated full gig at the Shiiine On Weekender festival in November.
Teddy Rocks Festival is renowned for its mission to raise funds for children with cancer, providing a platform for musicians to come together for a cause that transcends entertainment. The festival creates a community spirit, with artists and attendees united by a shared purpose. The inclusion of Giant Killers, who performed a special one-song set, added to the festival’s unique and heartfelt atmosphere.
Following the warm reception at Teddy Rocks, Giant Killers are now gearing up for their first full gig in decades at the Shiiine On Weekender in November. This major festival appearance is highly anticipated, as fans old and new look forward to experiencing the band’s dynamic live performance once again.
As if dropping a three-pack project filled with bangers was not eye-catching enough, Burgeoning Ghanaian talent NSRB Dray has served another masterpiece with the release of his new single “Eye for Eye.”
Known for singing from raw emotions, NSRB Dray takes it a step further in this new release where he talks about being in a state of despair and self-doubt.
However, there’s no doubt about his intentions on the record. NSRB Dray goes in hard from the first beat drop on the YNT Deezy-produced track.
On “Eye for Eye,” he glides on the boppy instrumentals for two minutes straight, highlighting the world’s abundance of greed, unforgiveness, ego, and pride.
He opens with his version of the famous Mahatma Gandhi saying, “An eye for an Eye leaves the world blind,” before letting his baritone vocals shine through what can pass a “here’s how the world works” pep talk to the listeners.
The record boasts of superior rawness draped around melodious saxophone sounds by Sam Aryee, missing in so many fine-tuned street-preaching jams lately. NSRB Dray’s delivery stands out as the lyrics pierce the ears and hearts of the listeners to nod and note down.
He shared the reason for his choice of lyrics exclusively to Amplify Ghana, stating that his never-give-up spirit pushed him to send a message of hope to his audience.
“Eye for Eye is a music piece written in a state of disrepair and self-doubt. It talks about not giving up and staying well composed in every situation,” he explained.
After dropping “PLAN B” which touched on a similar subject matter, last year, this new release could easily pass as his master plan, but the singer’s unpredictability and versatility means fans can expect different sounds from him.
“Eye for Eye,” is NSRB Dray’s 2025 welcome message. It was mixed by the singer and mastered by talented sound engineer QID Korle.
