Justin Sconza’s new track “If I Could Do It All Over Again” is a total rock anthem that shows his might. This Chicago-born musician has been at it since he was just a little kid, banging on piano keys in first grade and then picking up a guitar in seventh. He’s come a long way, mixing that garage rock energy with some trippy vibes and melodies.
This song is gonna be on his new album “Standards” out since February 28th, and it’s been a long time coming. Sconza’s been playing these tunes live for ages, and now he’s finally getting them down in the studio. “If I Could Do It All Over Again” is all about looking back at the dumb stuff we’ve done and trying to figure out how to move forward. It’s deep, but also kinda hopeful, you get?
The coolest part? Sconza recorded this bad boy in his attic! He went old school with a real drum kit instead of some computer beats, and you can totally hear that raw, authentic sound. He even threw in some of those classic Yamaha DX7 strings, giving it this nostalgic feel that matches the whole vibe of the song. It’s like you can hear his soul in every note. Sconza’s music is like a wild ride through time and genres. You’ve got everything from Scott Joplin’s old-school ragtime to Kurt Cobain’s grungy angst all mixed up in there. It’s pretty cool how he pulls it off in “If I Could Do It All Over Again” – you can hear echoes of The Beatles and Stones, but it doesn’t feel like a throwback.
This song isn’t just Sconza navel-gazing. It’s the kind of tune that’ll hit home for anyone who’s ever looked back and wondered “what if?” He’s got this way of nailing those feelings we all have, with a bit of humor thrown in. It’s like he’s right there with you, thinking about the good old days and what’s coming next.
“If I Could Do It All Over Again” reminds you that sometimes, taking a hard look at yourself can actually lead to something good. With his new album Standards, Justin Sconza is really shining.
