Each Measure Feature: Ryan Tobin

FEATURE

Musical artist Ryan Tobin is not only in the business of making tunes but is also on a mission to inspire and make change! He is a Christian rock artist whose music is a powerful testament to the transformative nature of faith and perseverance. Tobin, like all genuine artists, puts the emotions from intense and challenging life experiences into his music; for Tobin, this means combining the hurt and pain with the faith and progress of his struggles with and overcoming drug addiction to produce soulful and hopeful music.

“Purgatory Road” is Tobin’s debut effort in this light. It is a single that was released on October 4, 2024. This track seems to be inspired by Creed; it starts slow with tame guitar notes and a deep, emotional vocal, and then it gradually builds up, eventually hitting an explosive climax that features ripping electric guitar and powerful drums. A departure from Creed is Tobin’s vocals during the climactic chorus; instead of matching the intensity of the instruments, Tobin opts to stay tame, perhaps reflecting the song’s theme of remaining calm in an intense, risky, and potentially life-threatening situation. Tobin urges his audience to breathe and have faith as they pray and look towards the sky in such challenging situations. Christian rock fans will enjoy this song’s catchy hooks that are paired with intense and powerful instrumentals, which are ultimately being used to inspire and encourage faith in everybody that listens to them.
