Founded and fronted by Price Harrison, Sour Ops inhabit the thrilling space where proto-punk, glam, and power pop converge—recalling the swagger of T. Rex, the melodic edge of Big Star, and the bite of The Kinks. The band’s guitar-based minimalism and sharp, cynical wit have made them a distinctive voice in the Nashville rock underground.
Over the past several years, Sour Ops have released a series of acclaimed singles and EPs, including “Family Circuit” and “Tinder Flame,” praised for their muscular riffs, layered harmonies, and cerebral storytelling. Harrison’s multi-disciplinary background—as an architect, designer, and musician—shapes the band’s aesthetic: clean lines, precise structures, and bursts of rock ‘n’ roll chaos.
Today, Glide is offering an exclusive premiere of the video for “All That Matters Now,” a new single steeped in melody, grit, and emotional weight. The track officially arrives October 24th, marking another standout release in the band’s growing catalog of riff-heavy, cerebral rock. Indeed, the song fuses an alt-country sound with roots rock and power pop as they gradually build emotion. The song is both infectious and resonant, delivering just the right balance of rock and roll fervor and emotional power. The accompanying video—directed by Harrison—features Americana artist Boo Ray as the heartbroken protagonist returning to his former lover’s sleek, modern home, only to discover she’s moved on. The short film juxtaposes artistic authenticity versus material wealth, capturing the dissonance between creative pursuit and domestic stability.
Recorded at the band’s Silver Space Studio in Nashville, the song was produced by Harrison, mixed by Melissa Mattey, and mastered by Alex McCollough at True East Mastering. The single features a powerhouse lineup:
At its core, “All That Matters Now” explores the ache of wanting to return to a place where one once mattered in a now-broken relationship. Harrison’s minimalist, riff-centered approach underscores that emotional tension — a raw, unvarnished reminder that power pop, at its best, balances melody with melancholy.
“The song is about the emotional geometry of love and loss,” says Harrison. “It’s about realizing that sometimes all that matters now is what’s already gone.”
