True, Brad Metz is a Florida native, but his bandmates Alexei Dotsenko, and Jack Ringca are, respectively, from Russia, and, &#8220;a man of the world&#8221;. Together the three of them have found not just home, but also a family. Their new single, &#8216;One Guarantee&#8217;, sees the three come together with an approach to music that doesn&#8217;t just showcase their individual musical talents, but also their own influences and inspirations.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;One Guarantee&#8217; at first listen seems an appropriate song for &#8220;Spooky Season&#8221;, with its dirge-like vocal tempo and minor key instrumentation. But it&#8217;s so much more than that; written during the Covid-19 Pandemic, it&#8217;s very much an introspective look at life and what it all means. They sum it up with the phrase, &#8220;there is only one guarantee&#8221; &#8211; no matter what we do in life, the only guarantee is our eventual death. &#8220;Some will fail, some will excel&#8221;, but in the end we all die. It could be a depressing, &#8220;why should we bother&#8221; song, but DigDog make it very clear that they&#8217;re choosing to live their very best lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Written during much of the enforced homestay in 2020, DigDog wrote, edited, and rewrote a series of songs which eventually became their latest project, &#8216;Homeless Theatre&#8217;, from which &#8216;One Guarantee&#8217; comes. It&#8217;s not their first release, but in a way, it&#8217;s a rebirth, as the Pandemic caused them to refocus on what they stood for. For all its sombre sound, &#8216;One Guarantee&#8217; will leave you feeling positive, and hopefully give you the determination to make the very best of your life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about DigDog and their music online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DigDogBook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.
