Rome’s Feldspar are less interested in fitting into a lane than pulling from several at once. Here’s everything to know about the band: blending power-pop melody with hardcore muscle, Feldspar’s new single “Good Kids” leans into that tension. The track questions the idea of moral authority—written from the perspective of when being “good” starts to feel conditional rather than inherent—and mirrors that push-and-pull sonically.
Drug Church’s Chris Villeneuve provides a driving backbone on drums, while Riccardo Zamurri’s rough-edged vocals collide with a more melodic counterpoint, keeping the song from settling in one place. Gwen Mowat’s sharp, pop-leaning vocals lend a contrasting edge to the band’s sound, with contributions from Marianne Leone and Viviana Di Bari, who help broaden its dynamic range. On the low end, Manlio Massimetti (bass) keeps things grounded:
Recorded in New Jersey with producer Jon Markson (The Story So Far, One Step Closer) alongside Alan Day (Four Year Strong), “Good Kids” highlights the band’s mix of alternative rock and post-hardcore influences, landing somewhere between Militarie Gun and Koyo. Formed in 2023 and named after a mineral associated with covert Roman clergy, Feldspar channels themes of spirituality, mental health, and contradiction into their sound.
Feldspar will be releasing new music later this year.
