“Shoot Me Down” takes lyrical inspiration from the frustration and defeat from the end of a relationship and inevitable breakup and blends it musically into blissfully dirty, heavy, psychedelic, fuzzed-out rock n’ roll.

Hailing from his Testify album, Laubscher shows how he makes his Stratocaster sing with his signature passionate, raw & pure soul ecstasy. This is a no holds barred riff burger and will get you headbanging and throwing the devil horns in no time.

There’s an accompanying video for the track which follows the no frills & cut the bullshit approach by letting the band do what they do best, get in a room and just let it rip. “Shoot me down” was filmed in their band room by the video’s director & editor Kyle Wesson, who also served as the band’s drummer till 2021.

I have to admit that this track is just what the doctor ordered to improve my Friday. This has to be the favourite track off the Testify album.
