Peningo Riders Deliver Southern Rock Punch With “Love Ain’t Everything”
It’s ain’t easy these days with relationships, lot of fake stuffs everywhere, making the dating scenes very unpleasant. So if you’re currently nursing a broken heart or just annoyed with your dating life, the Peningo Riders have your new favorite song. They just dropped a track called “Love Ain’t Everything” on Friday the 13th, and it is the perfect antidote to all the mushy Valentine’s Day stuff.
The story behind this song is actually pretty funny. It wasn’t written in a fancy studio. It started during a guitar lesson. Eddie Pellon was learning from Russ Davis and was so fed up with some romantic drama that he just stopped playing and shouted the title out of pure frustration. They realized right then that they had a hit on their hands. Instead of finishing the lesson, they wrote a song that basically tells it like it is: love might be a good place to start, but it sure isn’t the whole story.
This track is much heavier and grittier than their last viral hit about Jeeps. It has a real Southern Rock kick to it. Think of it as a mix between ZZ Top and Blackberry Smoke. It’s got those driving guitars and a groove that feels like it’s meant for a long highway drive in an old truck. It’s raw, it’s loud, and it sounds like actual humans playing in a room together, which is exactly what we need right now.
Based out of Florida and New York, Eddie and Russ are proving that rock and roll isn’t some old museum piece. They take influences from legends like Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd and turn them into something that feels fresh. “Love Ain’t Everything” is a bit of a reality check wrapped in a massive anthem. It’s about the hard work that happens after the honeymoon phase is over and the real world kicks in. People often forget these things and think love is all glamorous after that joyful moment. But what they don’t realize is the after life, the stress, raising kids, the temptations and everything there’s that may come. You’ve got to need more than just love to make it work.
It’s honest, it’s a little bit angry, and it’s very catchy. If you’re tired of fake pop songs and want something with some actual grit, you should definitely give this a spin. It’s a great reminder that while love is cool and all, it’s not the only thing that matters.
