New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The new single from garage rock group The Legal Immigrants mainlines a shot of adrenaline straight to the system. "
Hang On" is a freight train rolling off the tracks with howling vocals, smoking amplifiers, and chugging guitar chords from calloused fingers. It unleashes a burst of energy with a call to iron-willed perseverance. "
Hang On" is now streaming on all major platforms.
"
Hang On" is a jaunting kick in the ass. If there's one thing that the single won't do, it's let you feel sorry for yourself. As a rioting act of rebellion against complacency, it shakes the ground and roars under dragging feet, thrusting them towards the dawn of a new day. new year, and a new future. Smooth vocals round out the jagged edges and swelter with charisma as the lyrics capture a message of determination to give the last months of the year one final push. Snapping blues guitar riffs chug forward in motion as metallic tambourine rattles below the belly of the well-oiled machine.

Praise for The Legal Immigrants:
"A music and philosophy centering around a central
Detroit ethos: raw, gritty, and honest." - Mad Mackerel
"Grand Rapids, Michigan-based rock band the Legal Immigrants strut, snarl and storm through the lyrically dense, bluesy new track 'Bily Goat'." - KDHX
"There's just something about Midwest, blue collar blues that does us all in... The Legal Immigrants live and breathe the staple fruits of rock's past (Led Zeppelin and
Black Sabbath) and some of it's latest influences (moderns like The White Stripes) but there's a slow, glory that rises in these otherwise scrappy tunes that makes me really dig what I'm hearing." - Ryan Spaulding - Ryan's Smashing Life
