Thadeus Gonzalez is a rippin’ Oakland-based songwriter and performer whose music thrives on emotion, tension, and truth. With four albums released and years of touring behind him, Gonzalez has built a reputation for delivering raw, lived-in songs and high-impact live shows. His 2024 album Street Fights Are Starting To Hurt cemented his place as a restless and evolving artist, unafraid to dig deep and push sound forward. Whether on record or on stage, Gonzalez connects through intensity, vulnerability, and an unmistakable voice that stays with you.

From the mean streets of childhood to the gritty arenas of adulthood, every riff and lyric is a testament to the relentless struggle for identity and survival. In the words of the man himself, “Tussle” is a sonic manifesto—a battle cry for the misfits, the fighters, and the fearless souls who refuse to back down!

I love the pace and the mood of the song (No Relief), with a great vocal performance by Thadeus behind the microphone. My favorite part of the song is the chorus, epic, anthemic and super catchy. It will get stuck in your head for sure. This is a great tune, with the right sound and arrangement as well.
