Los Angeles alternative rock duo Clyde the Band has released “Better”, a raw and introspective single that captures the sting of emotional invalidation. The track draws from the band’s own experiences with relationships where feelings were dismissed and worth was questioned. Rooted in 90s alternative rock influences, “Better” blends gritty guitars and driving rhythms with hook-driven songwriting that balances melody and distortion. The song offers catharsis for anyone who has felt their emotions minimized by people they trusted most.
Clyde the Band continues to build their identity with a sound that feels both nostalgic and modern. The duo pairs unfiltered energy with emotional honesty, creating music that resonates with fans of Wunderhorse, Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, Pavement, and Pixies. “Better” showcases their ability to merge vulnerability with volume, proving that guitar-forward alternative rock still has plenty to say. The single stands as a relatable anthem for listeners navigating the quiet insecurity that comes when relationships leave you questioning yourself.
