about
Gavin's 4th single.
What an amazing musical journey for someone barely in their teens. Gavin can jump seamlessly from a relaxing tropical turquoise to a dark metallic dungeon in the wink of an adolescent eye. There is no destination, palette or emotion he is not keen to explore, Grandpa may have helped him build his ship but Gavin wants to boldly go where no man has gone before. Deeper, higher, further...

Chicago area power pop musician Herb Eimerman once recorded an album with Shoes member Jeff Murphy under the Beatles-flavored moniker Nerk Twins. Gavin Eimerman, Herb’s teenage grandson, recently released his fourth single, “No Reason To Feel.” It packs a harder punch than his previous efforts, with a driving beat carrying troubling lyrics such as “I can’t look at you the same way/Defaced, disgraced, beliefs to defy.” He offers a bit of consolation with “I’ll sing a prayer to the human kind/I’m just an archangel in disguise like a signal.” The single is available on Australian rocker/producer Joe Algeri’s Egomaniac Music Bandcamp page. Algeri and Herb Eimerman, who are members of the international power pop band The Britannicas, help out on drums and bass respectively, but this is definitely Gavin’s showcase.

The teenage power pop scion’s fourth single should have him ready to expand out of the studio, it is an excellent rocker with a first rate vocal. Just as interesting, the lyric moves around its subject, this is a protest song but the metaphor is youthful and hard to pinpoint. We haven’t had a great teen rock since the early 00s, it is time Gavin found a manager – B+

lyrics
______________________________________________
Shoot when you see the white
In their eyes
Do you really think i got the time for damnation?
Of the nation
And when you see the jets in the sky
Do you wish that you could reach that high like they could?
Well I don’t
Push you
Kill you
No reason
Defaced
Disgraced
Beliefs to defy
A miasma of misery
A purgatory reaching past the sea
Conviction in denial
A fogged-out memory to serve the cause
Do you really think you’re one of us a mechanic?
So Robotic
Something is wrong with your heart
Defaced, Disgraced, Beliefs to defy
Fire and Brimstone
Sinners to Saints
Kill them all
I’ll sing a prayer to the human kind
I'm just an archangel in disguise like a signal
So tranquil
Shoot when you see the white in their eyes
We’ll pay billions to cover their lies eternal
Punishment
I can’t look at you the same way
Defaced, disgraced, beliefs to defy
There's no reason to fight
There's no reason to feel
There's no reason to pray for us
There's no reason to fight
There's no reason to feel
There's no reason to die for us
There's no reason to feel
