Washington D.C.-based alternative rock band The Generation has unleashed their lost single, “When I Tell You.” The Generation is a mid-80s rock band that tore it up in the D.C. live rock scene. Unheard since then, the band has unearthed and remastered lost material including their single, “When I Tell You.” This nostalgic track blends elements of 80s rock, power pop, and indie rock. Wavy guitar riffs, fuzzy bass licks, and stiff drums immerse the listener in a hazy soundscape. Moody vocals resonate along the production with punky melodies. The combination results in a rebirth of a forgotten sound from a unforgettable era. The Generation’s new single, “When I Tell You,” is a blast from the past and the perfect addition to any alternative rock playlist.
