song premiere: "Deflector Head" - Vacation

The newest single from Vacation is practically begging you to take it on a summer road trip. "Deflector Head" is meant to be played as loud as possible. From the steady bob of percussion to the resounding introduction of guitar, the single is two minutes of pure energy and fun. It's brimming in gritty rock-and-roll inspired roots, and sets you up for one final and abrupt blast of fun. Let loose for yourself and enjoy the stream below, along with some BTS info on the track from band member Jerome Westerkamp

Deflector Head is a tune about when the brain stands in the way of getting your rocks off, in both conscious and unconscious states. Have you ever had a dream where you couldn't connect fist to face no matter how hard you swing? It's the most frustrating shit! The term was spouted off in a incoherent ramble of a close friend and I liked how it sounded, so I wrote it down and expanded it from there. The second verse is about rock and roll and learning to say fuck it, I AM it.
