Aftergrace – “I Still Need Jesus”
Review by Kyle Williams, Mayhem Rockstar Magazine Radio

Aftergrace hits a raw nerve with “I Still Need Jesus,” a brooding anthem that wrestles with faith, doubt, and the messy middle ground in between. This track cuts deeper than your typical rock song — it’s a confession, a plea, and a declaration all at once.

Musically, the band balances gritty alt-rock energy with an almost hymn-like reverence. The guitars churn with a controlled urgency, the drums pulse like a heartbeat, and vocalist Matt Holt delivers lyrics with a blend of vulnerability and grit that demands your attention. The song’s emotional core is undeniable — it’s about grappling with inner demons while clinging to the hope of redemption.

Lyrically, “I Still Need Jesus” is unflinching. There’s no sugarcoating here — it’s about the paradox of seeking salvation while feeling lost, “falling down but still reaching up.” It’s that honest tension that gives the song its power and makes it resonate far beyond the religious themes.

🔥 Verdict: 4/5

“I Still Need Jesus” is Aftergrace at their most honest—powerful, relatable, and cathartic. It’s the kind of track that sticks with you long after the last note fades.
