Who Dares? – Conan Neutron & The Secret Friends

“Who Dares?” – the lead single from Conan Neutron & The Secret Friends’ upcoming album The Way of the Neutron, set to drop on March 20, 2025, via Seismic Wave Entertainment – is a bruising, hook-laden slab of noise rock that hits like a fist wrapped in velvet. The track distills the Milwaukee-based trio’s signature blend of muscular riffs, sly swagger, and off-kilter charm into a potent opening salvo for their latest full-length.

From the jump, the song bursts out of the gate with a gritty, overdriven guitar riff courtesy of Conan Neutron, laying down a foundation that’s equal parts menacing and infectious. Tony Ash’s bass slinks underneath with a low-end growl that anchors the chaos, while Dale Crover – best known for his legendary work with Melvins – delivers a drum performance that’s as precise as it is unhinged, driving the track forward with a relentless, almost primal energy.

For longtime fans, “Who Dares?” is Conan Neutron & The Secret Friends flexing their strengths with renewed vigor; for newcomers, it’s an irresistible invitation to dive into their world of “big weird rock music.” Either way, it’s a hell of a statement. If this is the tone-setter for The Way of the Neutron, March 19 can’t come soon enough.
