The new track by VinnLombardo, ‘Sedatives and Alcohol’, hits way harder than I expected. First off, this dude can write. He’s been around the block, played in bands, toured internationally, even did the solo artist thing under the name ‘Pilot Touhill’, and you can tell. The guy knows how to stitch a melody together so it sticks in your head, but it’s the honesty in his lyrics that really lands.

Emotional, Personal, Honest

-PurpleMistress

The song itself? Way more than just a sad ballad about trying to drink your feelings away. It’s part literal, part metaphor, a look at the things we lean on when we’re trying to get through tough moments, and the hard truths that show up along the way. The production is clean but feels super personal, like he’s sitting right there in the room telling you his story. If you’re into singer-songwriter or indie stuff that’s all about real connection over fancy studio tricks, this one’s worth checking out.
