“No Work” by The Black Fever – A Song Feature


     “No Work” immediately embraces a listener’s attention by means of a guitar progression that is soon joined by the heartbeat of a kick drum. It’s a strong start that raises expectations. The remainder of the song lives up to the heightened expectations. The instrumentation is varied, yet consistently strong and interesting. As an example, the percussion makes a higher frequency shift at the 3:05 mark of the single from The Black Fever.

     The Toronto-based band explains, “Given the plight that many people are facing in the modern economy, the title ‘No Work’ just came to us, and the lyrics flowed from there.  It seemed appropriate to talk about, given how tough it is – particularly for younger people or newer graduates from university or college – to find and keep a good job.”

     “No Work” is a single on the recently released EP “Unarticulated Wants.” The members of The Black Fever are Shoe (vocals, guitar), Pat Bramm (bass, back-up vocals), and Dan Purpura (drums). Originally, it was a solo project of “Shoe,” but he knew Bramm from the University of Toronto. Purpura joined after being with another band.
