New Artist for your Ear Holes: A Very Special Episode
Seeing as Hidden Home is now run from the East Coast, we decided to mark our territory and put out an artist from our operating region. Please put your hands together for our best buddies and the band that has seen me more intoxicated-er than anyone else: A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE!!
My NY band played our second show with AVSE in October of 2018, when I still knew practically nobody here. They were dressed like the kids in Good Charlotte’s “Predictable” music video, and boy-oh-boy did they rule. I ran up to them after their set to tell them that I “don’t usually like goth bands” but they were amazing and blew my mind. They responded by telling me that they weren’t actually a goth band, and then - true story - invited us to a goth-themed Halloween party. It ended with their drummer Chayse half-demonstrating a “running 69” and a giant man ever so casually but matter-of-factly telling me that I’m a “very hot ginger.” Me and the band have been friends ever since.
Mike visited NYC, met the band at a group hang, and we all got along gingerly (no pun intended). When I sent them their record, he was like “Woah, this is really good!” He wasn’t surprised - he just liked it a lot. Their new record is called Fix Your Hearts or Die, and not only does it rule, but it’s coming out later this year via us and EWEL Records.
Their new single, “Introspectre,” comes out this Friday. To celebrate, they’ll be premiering a live stream set through bandNada on Saturday at 9 PM EST - that’s 7 for Idahoans and 6 for Californians ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Pre-save the single or pick up something on Bandcamp to be notified when it comes out.
AVSE sounds different than anything we’ve released before and I’m stoked to change it up. They push musical boundaries, care deeply about their art, and are a creative force that genuinely excites me. I hope they excite you too.
