“Parasite” is a pounding piece of classic rock and roll, performed with swagger, bravado, and sheer joy. The track brims with energy and excitement, making it a treat from back to front. With its infectious rhythms and spirited performance, The Chris Ruben Band delivers a memorable and electrifying experience that’s sure to leave a lasting impression.
It’s got such character to it, exemplified in the sheer performative nature of the vocals. They’re delivered like it’s part of a play or movie, almost narrative in their focus.
Through and through it’s a banger that’s just a whole lot of fun to rock out to.
