Review: The Modbeats’ single ‘The Passers-Bye’

Review: The Modbeats’ single “The Passers-Bye” – Release date April 3, 2025

New Jersey band The Modbeats continue their  quest to revive the classic rock sound of the sixties and beyond with their latest release , the atmospheric “Passers-Bye”. The band , who formed in 2023 have already released a string of singles that imaginatively  embrace our celebrated musical heritage  and their latest offering is a further endorsement of their credentials.  

 After an intro reminiscent of  Oasis ( who have a healthy list of sixties influences themselves) there is a distinct echo of the Kinks in both sound and content as the lyrics ponder the ambitions of anonymous passers-bye before concluding that in reality dreams are  squandered.  

 Another quality offering from a band bristling with talent . Rock at Night eagerly anticipates their debut album , due later this year.

I’vehad a passion for music from an early age starting with the classic rock bands of the late sixties and early seventies. A few years ago I was able to combine my love of music with my interest in photography when I started to secure press passes for bands appearing in local venues close to my home in North Wales. I also had a stint with the good people at Down the Front Media where I worked at a variety of venues across the UK.Aside from gigs I have been a match day photographer with Chester FC for eight years and you’ll find me pitch-side most Saturday afternoons during the football season.
