Squeaky Feet - Overview Effect (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

Squeaky Feet is not your average jam band. Known for their complex compositions and improv-fueled live shows, the Denver-based quintet merges the raw power of progressive heavy metal with infectious dance grooves, a keen melodic sensibility, and virtuosic musicianship—a formula that finds full expression on their new album, Overview Effect.

Overview Effect, the band’s full-length follow-up to its 2023 debut Cause For Alarm, captures the group’s unique energy while expanding its sonic and thematic horizons. The title, borrowed from the term astronauts use to describe the shift in perspective when viewing Earth from orbit, feels apt for a band seeking to see its music—and the world—from a higher vantage point. But if you’re looking for long improvised jams, you won’t find them on this record.

“We’re an extremely improv-heavy band live, maybe to a point that’s overboard for some people,” explained Colin Shore, the band’s principal songwriter. “But it’s really fun in my opinion to take a completely different approach in the studio and really focus on the composition and the arrangement and really get down to the micro details of the songs.”

“If you listen to our recorded material, we don’t sound like a jam band,” D’Angelo concurred, “but we turn into a different band when we improvise.”
