Los Angeles-based indie rocker The Afro Nick returns with a fresh take on one of his most personal tracks, Get There Before Noon (LA Mix), this time re-imagined fresh with energy and sonic depth from a previously recorded song. Nick Anastasakis, aka The Afro Nick, is known for his raw, gut-wrenching, completely unfiltered approach to his music as he keeps crafting soundscapes out of indie rock, psyched-out vibes, and an unflinching DIY spirit.
Get There Before Noon explores the tangibility of time, urgency, and the ephemeral nature of opportunity. Created from a real-life moment: after a long night out in New York, Nick pushed himself through fatigue to make it to his recording session; this very relatable experience transforms into a driving anthem shouting at you to seize the day before it slips away.
It is in that moment when he gushes, "And on one day, you gonna miss that day" where he embodies a universal message that procrastination comes with heavy penalties; life simply waits for nobody. The churning raspiness of Nick's voice gives a punch to this emotion-laden lyric.
The LA Mix brings with it a more deepened and atmospheric sound. Featuring Grammy-winning synth maestro Leo Genovese, the track is built on other layers of swirling synths, powerful bass lines, and spellbinding guitar work. A fusion of indie rock and alternative psychedelia that echoes the true classic rock legends but is distinctly modern in execution.
The instrumentation is an alluring dance of grit and melody, allowing the moments of raw distortion to rub shoulders alongside dreamy synth textures. This creates a rhythm to make one push forward, firmly driving home the message of motion both literally and metaphorically.
This is what you have to listen to if you like music with heart and a trace of storytelling: Get There Before Noon (LA Mix). The Afro Nick pursues his lane, serving music for the rebels, dreamers, and those who would not waste a second.
2025 tour on the way, The Afro Nick proves that his journey is far from over. The time is now, don’t miss out.
