Blazing a Trail of Rock and Americana in 'Mile Wide'

Trickshooter Social Club is breaking the mold with their latest single, “Mile Wide” – a high-octane, genre-blending anthem that celebrates the rebellious spirit of rock and roll. Hailing from Chicago’s thriving Americana scene, the band, led by guitarist Larry Liss and frontman Steve Simoncic, have crafted a sound that seamlessly fuses blues, alt-country, and gritty garage rock.

“Mile Wide” is a rallying cry for breaking free from self-imposed limitations. The lyrics tackle the restlessness that comes with the daily grind, daring listeners to “blow a hole a mile wide” in the boundaries they’ve created for themselves. This sense of liberation is mirrored in the track’s powerful musicality – a driving rhythm section, razor-sharp guitar riffs, and Simoncic’s raw, emotive vocals that convey both swagger and vulnerability.
