After months of press releases and promises, System of a Down guitarist Daron Malakian has unleashed the first song by his new band Scars on Broadway, which also features System drummer John Dolmayan.
The tune, “They Say,” is pretty rockin’, but not exactly metal. It doesn’t sound that much like System, either. The track is driven by a simple, foot-to-the-floor guitar riff, no-nonsense drumming and vocals that sound to us like a cross between the flamboyance of Placebo and the snotty aggression of Sex Pistols.
And while there’s no solo, there’s some cool whammy bar guitar warbling over the chorus. Also, the lyrics are way political, proving that Serj Tankian isn’t the only member of System who has a beef with the current administration. click “more” to check out the track.
