As a female rock enthusiast who grew up listening primarily to male-fronted bands, it’s so empowering to find females who are pioneering the genre, and I’m always looking for something new just like that. I think I’ve found it.
Loz Campbell isn’t new to music, but she’s new to me. I’m already obsessed, and her latest release, “What Are You Doing It For?,” is everything you could want in a killer rock tune and more: hard-hitting drums, perfectly-placed guitar work, an amazing vocal, and a fun sound with a deep message. This song reminds me of so many of my favorite bands all at once while somehow being something completely new to me at the same time. It feels modern, it feels classic, it’s something you can jam to, but it also gets at something real: what are you doing it for?
That’s something I love about it – it makes you think. What am I doing all this for? For me, the answer is passion. I write about the things I love because I’m passionate about spreading the word to others, and because I love to write! Listening to this song and watching the video, I see someone who does it all for the same reason: passion. It makes sense; she’s been doing this since she was 15, and you can absolutely tell with every note out of her mouth or her guitar.
This is an incredible tune – one I’m gonna be blasting on repeat for a good while! Turn it up loud and figure out what exactly you do it all for; it’ll be the best existential crisis you’ve ever had!
