Zegovia – “Flies”

Good Sunday afternoon! Zegovia is a Houston alt-rock band with a new single, “Flies”. After their summer release “Prefab”, this one starts in a mellow, ‘70s-style groove before kicking into the big alt-rock power they’re known for.

The song looks at ambition, exploitation, and survival in the local music scene. It mirrors the politics around up-and-coming bands and the way the industry shifts. You can hear the perspective of a group that has watched friends get picked at and has felt those pressures themselves. That honesty keeps the message clear and direct.

The title works on two angles, flies on the wall watching drama, and flies feeding on what’s left when a band is struggling. That idea fits into the larger world of their debut album, “Observe“, where the band wrestles with anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, and the pressure of coming of age in a hyperconnected, hypercritical society. The bigger picture gives “Flies” extra context without overcomplicating anything.

If this track clicks for you, line up “Prefab” next and spend time with their other releases. Zegovia’s focus on real experiences and the push to stay authentic comes across in a grounded way. Give them a follow on social media so you can stay updated on new releases and shows.
