In fact, The Big Takeover’s Jack Rabid championed it, playing it on his radio show and giving the album a stellar review in The Big Takeover Magazine Issue #88. Game Day also received a 5 Star review in Shindig! Magazine (UK), and made over 30 ‘Best of 2021’ lists (including TBT) – chosen #1 by Power Pop Overdose (USA), #5 by The Ice Cream Man (SWE), and Star Collector was ‘Artist of The Year’ on Woody Radio (CAN) and The Secret Weapon (USA).

Exclusive quote by Star Collector’s Vic Wayne on the song and video, “Feel It Comin’ On”:

“It’s the first single from our new (and 6th) album, ‘Attack, Sustain, Decay… Repeat’; a song I co-wrote with Ian Person, who was in The Soundtrack Of Our Lives (now a solo artist in Gothenburg, Sweden). I was a big fan of theirs and had seen them here in Vancouver. Funny story… I was wearing their t-shirt in our “Rip It Off” video (also premiered on The Big Takeover, in fact!) from our last album, ‘Game Day’, and a DJ, Wayne, The Ice Cream Man, who lives in Gothenburg and was playing our stuff, mentioned he knew Ian and had shown him our video. He said Ian dug it and I suggested he hook us up so Wayne did. Just… like… that. We wrote 2 songs for the album together and it was a fantastic experience. Ian plays on the album too so, as you can image, I’m tickled pink!”

“Feel It Comin’ On” is about the joy of co-writing “Feel It Comin’ On” (circular logic?? Haha… perhaps) but also extrapolated to the joy of songwriting/creating in general, and doing what you love, no matter what. You only live once n’ all that… It’s also self-referential: “I’m going to break it down for all time, I ain’t no deer in the headlights”… “A touch sentimental but I’ll be fine, I’m all or nothing by design”… “I’m sticking to wide eyes”. The song has some killer riffs and solos by Ian and our resident guitar hero, Steve ‘The Monkey’, as well as powerhouse skin-bashing by Adrian. It’s topped off by my brother Adam’s melodic, propulsive bass playing (played live and in the video by our new bass ace, ‘Tone’).”

“The video, like all of ‘Game Day’s’ videos was directed and edited by Steve whose work, like fine Canadian wine (is there such a thing??.. haha) just gets better with age. His eye candy of green screen, filters and effects and his detailed job of editing the exhaustive footage, helps create the high energy, blissful approach the song requires. Also, our pal, Paul Tansey, shot the full band footage. We’re pretty stoked to get this video and ‘Attack, Sustain, Decay… Repeat’ out there. Thanks a mill to Jack and Joe at TBT for making this Premiere possible.”
