TC3 releases new single
The song was inspired, in part, by the death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.
With the Foos' as a key sonic influence on the track, TC3 shifts between melodic passages in the verses to choruses in which frontman Jaren Johnston wails.
"It's a heavy love song," Johnston said. "'Double Wide Grave' is another song I wrote about me and my wife, but it happened to be written when we were also dealing with the loss of Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighters. I made that track a day or two after he passed. At the time, I was producing the Foo Fighters' guitarist Chris Shiflett's album, so I got to witness the pain the band was going through. I did everything in the song like they would've done it, just with a southern TC3 spin added in, and it worked."
In 2020 the Nashville trio of Johnston, Neil Mason, and Kelby Ray released a pair of albums in "Country Fuzz" and "Tabasco & Sweet Tea."
"We put out 31 songs in one year. It was like, let's give people a breather. Let's give us a breather," Johnston said. "We were coming off COVID, and then my dad passed away. It's a whole different life now. Talk about having some shit to write about."
"This record does have a lot of growth, a lot of hurt and heartbreak," said Mason, the group's drummer. "We are a little more grown up now, but we're still doing the same thing we were doing in the beginning."
