Astral Rocks – “Why War”

Astral Rocks is the music project of Milli Schweizer, a British-Swiss artist based in Aargau, Switzerland. Her new single “Why War” is tough to ignore. It doesn’t feel like it was made to check a box. It feels like someone who’s seen a lot and is trying to make sense of it through music.

The song focuses on a mother who’s lost everything to war. It doesn’t try to make a big political statement, it simply asks a question that feels more personal than anything else: why are we still doing this? That angle makes it land harder.

The sound fits the message, it’s got this mix of rock and orchestral layers that really build the mood without overdoing it. You can tell there’s care in how it was put together. It’s not trying to impress anyone. It sounds like it came out of real life. Milli has already had strong radio support around the world, and her past singles have picked up solid traction. But this one feels different. It’s direct. It matters.

If you want to hear something with a bit more heart behind it, “Why War“ is worth your time. Check out Astral Rocks on social media to stay updated on new music through the rest of 2025.
