Ragers Rage On Despite Being "Tossed Out" in Latest Single | THE NOISE


Montréal-based four-piece Ragers continue to embrace their alt-rock roots with the release of their latest single, "Tossed Out." Taking cues from their inspirations which number Gym Class Heroes, The Hives, and their Canadian predecessors in groups like Simple Plan and Sum 41, the band use the single as an excuse to introduce a new generation to the earnest, fun, and relatable appeal of pop-punk, with a modern twist.

The invigorating single opens seamlessly with frenetic guitar riffs and feverish percussion leading the charge. Co-lead vocalist Jake Prévost belts, "Hear me out/ Can I confess/ you're so heartless/ I won't surrender." He continues to explain that he goes to bed with his issues and that the object of his affection is also his greatest torment. Then, as the climactic chorus hits, he declares he won't let it keep him down despite being "tossed out." With its heavy, powerful guitars and mosh-inducing percussion and bass, the track is a ticking timebomb that's highly addictive and begs to be replayed over and over again.

"You ever get kicked out of a pub in Thunder Bay, Ontario after falling in love with the bartender?" said the band. "Out of luck, out of money, and out in the snow without a coat. There's something mischievous but celebratory about this one. It's just plain fun, simple and straightforward. This track evokes some of the alt-rock sounds we grew up with, a sort of dandy way of approaching punk themes. An infectious guitar lick, a chorus that hooks you on the spot, pulls you in before tossing you right back out."

The accompanying music video, directed and edited by Xavier Cantin-Lemieux, is a chaotic slice of life that follows our protagonist, portrayed by Prévost, through his day. The nostalgic, desaturated opening shot sees him lighting a cigarette and sitting alone in his living room. As the song picks up, he continues smoking and dancing in his kitchen before the video cuts to him running through the golden hour-lit streets of Montreal and dancing on abandoned rooftops.

"Tossed Out" will be featured on the band's upcoming album, Missed Calls from Home, out September 29th. The band brings it back to where they started, leaning on the ingenious use of their live band set-up to showcase their full artistry. The infectious hooks, strong riffs, and drums that inspire a call to arms are on full display here. After a decade of experimentation with aspects of hip-hop and electronic music and countless collaborations with various artists from across the globe, Ragers offer their most solid effort with the long-awaited ten-track LP.
