BTD Radio Review ‘This Could Be Love’ by Wicked Theory
Powerful, Raw, and Unapologetically Rock
If you’re looking for a song that grabs you from the first note and doesn’t let go, Wicked Theory’s “This Could Be Love” delivers the goods with unapologetic force. I played this song over and over again… it’s so good! So let me tell you about them. This hard-hitting rock outfit knows how to craft a track, that’s for sure! It screams intensity, emotion, and pure rock ‘n’ roll fire.
The song kicks off with roaring electric guitar riffs that immediately set the tone—big, bold, and relentless. The tight drum beat laid down by Keith Ryan drives the energy forward like a freight train, keeping everything locked in place as the band barrels ahead.
At the forefront is Jodee Frawlee, whose powerful vocals soar above the mix with just the right balance of grit and melody. She sells the emotion behind the lyric “Like an addiction I can’t break free,” capturing the raw vulnerability that gives this song its heart. Her voice is the anchor in a storm of distortion, passion, and thunder.
Guitarists Aart Knyff and Jeff Instasi bring the heat with blazing leads and razor-sharp rhythm work, especially during the cross-over bridge that transitions seamlessly into a blistering solo. It’s the kind of section that makes you want to crank the volume and lose yourself in the moment. Tony Franklin’s bass work adds depth and weight, rounding out a mix that feels full and ferocious.
“This Could Be Love” is exactly what its title implies—intense, unpredictable, maybe a little dangerous—and absolutely worth falling for. It’s a modern rock anthem with vintage attitude, and it leaves no doubt: Wicked Theory is a band with both the talent and the name to back it up.
Keep your ears on these Boston rockers. With tracks like this, they’re not just playing music—they’re making statements.
