Ghent’s alternative scene just got a serious jolt with Fig Trees’ new single “Hotel Pomeroke,” and it’s shaking things up in the best way possible. If you’re looking for just another tune to add to your playlist, keep scrolling. But if you want a real anthem for every artist out there hustling to keep their music dreams alive, you’ve hit the jackpot.
JJ, the mastermind behind Fig Trees, isn’t your typical rock frontman. By day, he’s an IT consultant and father of two, but by the weekend (now strategically extended to three days), JJ transforms into a musical wizard. His sound? Think Radiohead’s gritty authenticity mixed with Arctic Monkeys’ catchy hooks. It’s a combo that’ll make your ears perk up.
“Hotel Pomeroke” is the standout track from his upcoming debut album “Room 22,” and man, is it a head-scratcher (in the best way possible). The song’s got this underlying tension that just grabs you – it’s all about that constant tug-of-war between adult responsibilities and following your passion. If you’ve ever felt torn between your day job and your creative side, this track will hit you.
For rock fans sick of overproduced, cookie-cutter tunes, “Hotel Pomeroke” is gonna be your new jam. Fig Trees isn’t here to play by the rules – he’s tearing up the rulebook and making his sound. This track isn’t about hitting every note perfectly. It’s about raw emotion and real experiences.
The single serves as a taste of what’s coming on his album, and let us tell you, it’s got us pumped. With a mix of indie melodic pop and hard-hitting alternative rock, he’s definitely something in the musical ecosystem.
Bottom line: “Hotel Pomeroke” is a musical middle finger to the struggles of chasing your dreams while dealing with all the crap life throws at you. Turn it up, lean in, and let Fig Trees take you on a cool awesome ride.
