Seattle crew AVOID have just signed to Melbourne label UNFD.
To mark the big announcement, they’ve unleashed killer new single BURN, with frontman Benny Scholl enthusing: “We are so excited to share BURN with the world. Personally, I feel like this is a great representation of a more mature version of our sound. We’ve been hard at work with these new tunes for the past couple of years now, and I couldn’t think of a better way to introduce this next era of AVOID than this.”
The vocalist adds that BURN is “a song about the internal battles we face sometimes. I feel like especially as an artist, but really just as people in general we all have our own experiences of facing the highest of highs, and also the lowest of lows, and sometimes I think we all just want to ‘set it off, let it all burn’ – how about that for a little lyrical callback! I hope this song can be a positive light for everyone, but especially anyone that might be going through it a little bit right now.”
