Formed in Germany in 1969, Nektar favored extended compositions and concept albums over the constraints of pop.

Their sound traveled well to the States, where they enjoyed Top 40 success with "A Tab in the Ocean" (1972) and "Remember the Future" (1973). Nearly 20 albums later, the band's artistic and personal charisma has earned them masses of devoted fans along with their album "The Other Side" (2020) which was Number 1 on Amazon Progressive Music. For over half a century, Nektar has been the guiding star for countless fans, leading them on mesmerizing expeditions through the vast expanses of the cosmos and the depths of the ocean.

Nashville alt-rock duo Lips Speak Louder recently released "Dog Days Of Summer", the third single from their forthcoming debut album, and to celebrate we asked Rachel and Angie to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
Rachel: I think Dog Days of Summer is one of the more personal and vulnerable songs that I've written in a long while. It's about that feeling of realizing you've spent your whole life trying not to rock the boat, trying to be what everyone else expected of you, and making yourself small to not upset the status quo or "be the problem." I think it's a feeling that so many of us quietly deal with in solitude, especially women, who are so often taught to not make waves or take up too much space, which feels especially relevant now, in the current social/political climate we find ourselves in today. The song walks through processing this feeling from quietly acknowledging it, to the realization that it is not only unsustainable, but not the way I want to live. The build of the song goes through the emotions of reckoning with shattering those old ways of existing and finally, at the climax, the gloves are ripped off and emotions laid bare as the lyrics demand "Can you hear me now?" from the place of someone no longer willing to stay small or quiet.
