Brian Cottrill confronts the essence of greed, lust, and capitalism with his upcoming driving jam, the theme “Greedy Dreams”

A trailblazing and pioneering musical journey spanning decades, Brian Cottrill is a veteran guitarist and musician representing the West Virginia music scene to the core. His musical expedition stands as a testament to resilience, transformation, and a deep passion for music that allows him to address personal feelings and experiences as much as pressing societal issues and concerns, reflecting his commitment to sparking conversation and encouraging critical thought.

Set to release on February 21, “Greedy Dreams” is a powerhouse track—and it’s not just Brian’s fire that fuels it. His daughter, Hannah Cottrill, takes the drums and harmony vocals to deliver a visceral punch that deepens the song’s impact. Together, they craft a hard-hitting anthem that is both musically masterful and thematically urgent.

The palpably striking solos create this enduring interplay with the powerfully punchy drums and bass, providing a buoyant backdrop for the earworming, gritty vocals of Brian as he breathes life vividly, painting lucid pictures of a society that has been built around scarcity, competition, and the idea that more is always better. This has, in turn, fueled greed, inequality, and an insatiable hunger for wealth from everybody.

The real kicker? No matter how much we acquire, that feeling of “I need more” rarely goes away. It’s why people chase possessions they don’t truly need and why societies equate success with financial gain. It’s not just about money—it’s about control, security, and, on some level, an attempt to outrun mortality itself.

As the track progresses, Brian unleashes this pulsing interplay of the solos, gurgling riffs, and arena-ready drums for an out-of-body sonic experience that is in tandem with the daunting reality unfolding before us: maybe, just maybe, we still are cavemen at heart, just with shinier tools and bigger numbers in the bank. The question is—can we ever break free from that mindset? Or is the hunger too deeply wired into us?

“Greedy Dreams” is a prime example of Brian’s willingness to confront real societal issues and spark conversations using music.

Be sure to check out the track when it drops on February 21, and maybe it will change your perception because even those who reject materialism still operate within the system, shaped by ways they may not even realize.

And even if you don’t care about the message, you’ll still get to enjoy a progressive, drivingly good, and infectiously potent rock masterpiece. A win-win, right?
