Rock music has always been a powerful vessel for storytelling, and Lightcap’s All-Stars prove just that with their latest release, Yes. This electrifying track, recorded at Bad Daddy Studios in Northern California, is a fiery blend of classic rock energy and raw emotion.
Yes tells the tale of a man desperate for positivity from his girlfriend, only to be met with negativity and frustration. The track doesn’t dwell on anger but rather captures an exasperated plea for change, a sentiment that resonates with anyone who has felt unheard in a relationship.
From the very first note, the solid rock foundation envisioned by Mark Lightcap comes to life. The driving bass line, doubled with a crunchy Stratocaster, provides a gritty yet steady backbone that fuels the song’s momentum. Lightcap’s rhythmic guitar work, alongside Bruce Marelich’s electric leads, creates a dynamic, full-bodied sound that keeps the track engaging. Add in Vinnie Carini’s powerful drumming and Scott Hilke’s bass work (R.I.P.), and the result is a song that commands attention from start to finish.
Mark Lightcap delivers with passion, fully embodying the frustration of the song’s protagonist. His delivery is raw, authentic, and perfectly complemented by the backing harmonies of Carini and Cole Spohr. There’s a timeless quality to Yes a song that would feel just as at home in the golden era of rock as it does today.
Yes is a high-energy, emotionally charged anthem that captures the essence of great rock songwriting. It’s a must-listen for fans of classic and Americana rock, proving once again that Lightcap’s All-Stars are a force to be reckoned with.
