The Pulltops have persevered for decades by turning to their music whenever life became difficult. Their latest single “Stronger” captures that persevering spirit perfectly. The Milwaukee-based duo met in high school, bonding over a love of making music together. With “Stronger,” The Pulltops wanted to create a daily reminder of where fearlessness comes from within.
The track begins with the guitar which immediately feels inviting and comforting. The delicate vocals gently float in, intoning the message of potency through hard times. The nuanced details of the production – from the warbling synth lines to the twinkling percussion – help conjure an atmospheric world of hope.
The Pulltops’ extensive experience crafting intricate melodies is on full display here. The vocal harmonies build with tremendous warmth and care. Every note feels purposeful, painting a musical picture of courage. By the time an electric guitar solo kicks in midway through, providing a countermelody of determination – the song has already wrapped you in a cloud of assurance.
While the production sounds like modern alt-rock song structures, at its core “Stronger” carries the timeless essence of a classic rock ballad. It delivers a poignant reminder that we’re never alone in our struggles and that solace and bravery can be found in the community—the duo plan to continue crafting songs that highlight perseverance and resilience through different lenses.
With “Stronger,” The Pulltops prove once again that their greatest strength lies in their ability to translate life’s challenges into deeply harmonic music. The hope, comfort, and encouragement the song offers feel hard-won from two souls who have walked through hard times together – and come out the other side smiling, guitars in hand, sharing the wisdom of inner fortitude through sympathetic strings and stirring melodies that touch our hearts and minds. In dark times, we could all benefit from a tune that reminds us we aren’t alone, and that our own resilience lies within us, waiting to be stirred with the right notes.
