Brighton-based trio Fever Rouge are back with their latest single, ‘Weatherman’.
Released a week ahead of the upcoming EP Feed The Villain, the single showcases the post-punk energy, indie-rock melodies, and scuzzy alt-rock attitude which charactises the sound across the full project. The band’s knack for translating their raucous live intensity into the studio is on full display, making ‘Weatherman’ one of their most immediate and infectious releases to date and also one of the standout moments of the full EP.
‘Weatherman’, the most hook-laden offering from the EP, encapsulates Fever Rouge’s fusion of raw rock grit and undeniable melody. Built on a thick haze of fuzzy guitars and buoyant vocals, the song delivers a high-energy, no-frills rock & roll romp.
Speaking on the track, the band shares: “Weatherman is the most optimistic and fun track on the EP. We just wanted to make a song that was a straight-up fuzzy, scuzzy rock and roll anthem. I was thinking about the story of Icarus and how he flew too close to the sun—what would’ve happened if they got the forecast right? The song dabbles a little bit in commenting on issues of climate change, focusing on the corporate greed side of ‘The Villain’—because I had to be pretentious somewhere, right?!!”
With influences spanning from King Krule to Bloc Party, Radiohead, and The Stone Roses, Fever Rouge have rapidly built a reputation for their dynamic, thought-provoking sound. Produced by Oliver Hughes, Josh Harrison, and Louis Spanton, the upcoming EP perfectly captures this approach moving betweenmoments of raw intensity and introspective calm.
Be sure to catch Fever Rouge at one of their upcoming tour dates and look out for more about the upcoming EP release.
