Australian rock outfit Diamond Sky have released the single Outlaw City. The song is a tongue in cheek critique of the United States gun culture, both domestically with the wild west type application of the second amendment laws, and also when it comes to foreign intervention regarding weapons deals with tyrants abroad. The video portrays a cowboy that stumbles upon an oil/arms deal being struck between Uncle Sam and some middle eastern dictators, he is then escorted away by gun point to perform in front of a group of unimpressed cowboys.
Musically the song is upbeat, starting with a galloping bass that sets the mood for the main character’s arrival to Outlaw City on horseback, machine gun sounds in the prechoruses, big female choir in the choruses that create a unique blend with the heavy vocals and a guitar/keytar duel that is portrayed in the video as a western draw.
