“Too Old To Club” the title track from Mike Gatto’s up and coming album discusses nightclub culture that is ever obsessed with youth, making anyone over 21 feel like perhaps they don’t have any right to be clubbing at all.

It is an unpredictable song that incorporates an anthem like chorus with rather jumpy verses and an excellent guitar riff that crops up at random throughout the song. The lyrics of “Too Old to Club” really grab the attention of the listener with the witty observations made by Mike Gatto. “She does not want to end up like/ Some underrated example of you/ Crying in the Corner/With a fist full of sorrows”. I found myself singing along to this song after only one listen, which is always a good sign.
