Listen to FEVER 333’s new single, NEW WEST ORDER

A couple of days ago, FEVER 333 asked fans who was up for hearing a combination of “West Coast + Rock Music + Hip Hop”.

And now the quartet – Jason Aalon Butler, April Kae, Thomas Pridgen and Brandon Davis – have answered that very question with a brand-new track.

FEVER 333 have just followed up February single READY ROCK with the aptly-named NEW WEST ORDER, which hears frontman Jason in genre-blending mode and reflecting on his experience as a mixed race man in the alternative scene (‘It was all a dream / Rocking like this as a POC? / Oh, you best believe / We are the reason this started’) as well as where his band are at right now (‘Gained some STRENGTH IN NUMB333RS from the faith of others / Now we GRAMMY nominated, envy of the scene’).

“There is an intersectional hotbed where the hood and hardcore meet,” says Jason. “For pimps and punks alike to enjoy and celebrate their taboos. This intersection is beautifully represented in Los Angeles and NEW WEST ORDER is an unapologetic exploration of my experience as a social variable growing up in LA that I think the world should also have the privilege of being exposed to.

“It is also the beginning of West Coast gangster rock as a genre and a culture. The beauty in disparity and these nuanced diamonds forged from the pressures we experience in alternative commodities – of all types against the background of our status quo – and, particularly, people of colour. I spent about six years talking about how I felt about these governmental/societal systems and imbalances; now I'm going to talk about why I feel this way and the experiences that shaped such ideologies.”

Speaking of that 2019 debut STRENGTH IN NUMB333RS and its long-awaited follow-up, it was reported a few months ago that FEVER 333’s second album will arrive in 2024.
