“Carrying Torches latest track, “All For Nothing” pulses with life as one in love and rises and falls similarly remaining absolutely true to the emotion!”
Carrying Torches recent release, “All For Nothing” is a song that delves deep into the duality of love: adventure and temptation being on the flip sides. The song starts off pretty strong with a powerful punch of raw, guitar-driven sound. The track has a bold, anthemic feel. As the song builds up, it flirts with pop sensibilities without losing its strong heartland foundation. It’s a song that you can blast off in your headphones and lose yourself in the music!
If you have ever felt the push and pull of love, you should definitely lend this song an ear!
