Released on 27th December, last year, “FromTheTop 2.0” by Chris Thomas & The Merrymakers is an electrifying anthem about the ups and downs of life. The beat is loud and the instruments are rough, which are both signs of an aesthetic that represents both the fierceness of dreaming and the cocky bravado of its bust. It’s a rollercoaster of a sound, and a must-hear one, as raw as it is exhilarating.
Chris Thomas, the creative force behind The Merrymakers, is from West Palm Beach, Florida. A one-man powerhouse, he writes, sings and plays every instrument on his music. His music is raw with a DIY ethic that shines through in every note. “FromTheTop 2.0” was tracked in just two days at Chris’s home studio and has a dual-drum-kit set-up and detailed mixing that push that song’s intensity even further.
"FromTheTop 2.0 is an absolute rollercoaster of rock at its finest — raw energy and unbridled passion!"
It has an unpolished charm thanks to its raw production style, and what really keeps you going is Chris’s passionate vocals and sharp lyrics. The song’s driving beats and come-hither riffs were tailor-made for headbanging — or maybe just a high-speed drive. “FromTheTop 2.0″ is a hard-hitting, head-banging rock anthem that leaves you wanting more. Hit play and let Chris Thomas guide you through a ride you will never forget!
