An instant arrangement of softer guitar is built slowly alongside a striking drum groove, laced with timely fills.  The lyrics ‘I’m better off without, Better off without you’ set the tone of the track and serve as memorable lyrics.Â
The chorus brings in a catchy element through lyrics and melody. Vocalist Olly Davies has the chance to showcase his crisp, powerful vocals. The message of taking control of your life shines through here.Â
Groovy guitar riffs carry out of the chorus. A low guitar riff complimented by huskier vocals adds an interesting dynamic element. As the other instrumentals cut out this gave ‘Better Off Without’ another chance to build and carry an even more powerful energy. Not missing the chance to finish with some harmonizing layers to take the track to the next level.Â

Fans of Bands such as ‘Don Broco’ or ‘Mallory Knox’ are likely to enjoy Blockade and their fresh track. The combination of the softer alt-rock alongside the message of struggling to make a change you might need is a notable combination. ‘Better Off Without’ is driven by liveliness and inspiration.Â
