In a world that’s a little obsessed with love stories, the high-profile relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift has inspired ReeToxA to write an entire rock anthem about it. His new single, “Redneck Love, not only takes a bold concept but plays like a rousing, genre-blurring workout, one that shifts from shade-throwing to full-blown admiration to straight-up overdrive and then right back to all-over-again in an irresistible package.
The track was born out of jealousy, and its origins are as raw as its riffs. ReeToxA had a strange first-time Swiftie experience. He did not have a ticket to Taylor Swift’s appearance at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, but he sat outside soaking up the scene. Days later, he was scrolling through TikTok and learned that Swift was dating NFL stud Travis Kelce. That was the turning point and the catalyst for “Redneck Love.”
Hybridizing a diverse array of styles, art punk and its more experimental associates, hardcore, garage punk, indie pop, and grunge, to name just a few, ReeToxA doesn’t have one lane; they just blast through them all. “Redneck Love” is evidence that rock can still be righteous, relevant, and just plain fucking fun.
The drums hit with a restrained chaos that pushes the song forward, and it’s well-suited for a gym playlist or for anyone who needs a sound kick to make it through the day. It’s simultaneously a tongue-in-cheek homage and a cathartic vent, which makes it as relatable as it is ridiculous. ReeToxA cares about volume, groove, and telling the weird, awkward truth. For fans of snarky alternative rock, “Redneck Love” is a wild, unapologetic ride you won’t want to miss.
