straight-ahead rock heat, late-night adrenaline, and a chorus built to shake the walls

ain’t nothin’ now by car287 kicks in like a spark hitting dry ground, fast, loud and honest. it carries that sweaty bar-band energy you only get from musicians who cut their teeth on real stages, real crowds, real nights that blur into morning. the track moves with a huge stride, guitars snarling with a 70s edge while the rhythm section drives forward like a heartbeat that refuses to slow down. their influences flicker in the corners, a little tragically hip glow, a touch of glorious sons grit, but the centre of it is pure car287, raw and unfiltered.

recorded live off the floor in winnipeg, the song feels alive in the best way, the kind of performance you can picture in a small, packed room where every person is shouting the chorus back at the band. there is sweat on the edges, warmth in the keys, and a looseness that only comes from trusting the moment. you can hear the urgency of a band who wrote through lockdowns, built their world from scratch and now finally get to let it fly.

the lyrics carry that sting of relationships shifting over time, simple truths delivered with rock and roll bite. it’s straight-ahead, no hiding, no gloss. just feeling, loud and real.

ain’t nothin’ now sounds like a band stepping into their own light, ready to shake the walls a little more.

thank u for making this car287 🎸
