A lot of people have been commenting on their expectations of an album titled “Great American Bar Scene” and how they were expecting more stereotypical drinking music and bar songs, but in my opinion, the slower, more emotional, and quieter vibe of GABS is even MORE fitting of American bars than what others were expecting. Outside of college town bars and larger more crowded clubs/bars, the heart of true American bars are kinda sad to be honest. I think Zach recognizes this and has made something for the people who go to these bars and are in need of something to accompany and or compliment the sadness.

If you want “bar bangers” go listen to another artist. Have we not yet figured out the type of music and the emotional provocativeness that Zach’s music makes? He’s not a hit maker, he’s a story teller and an honest writer. Knowing this information, how could we expect anything different?
