Orlando pop-punk quartet A New Violet have premiered a music video for the heavy hitting “Over Again” HERE. The track is taken from the band’s latest EP, The Heat is Getting Hotter, which is out now on Manic Kat Records. Stream the album via: Lead vocalist Beth Vandal shares: “The music video idea for “Over Again” was inspired by the classic Mad Max movies. I chose a gritty, abandoned area where nobody resides. Wanted that wasteland feeling to it.” “Its like a place you’d feel vulnerable in when faced to fight off your enemies” continues Vandal. “This is a song about taking back your power and not caving into fear. When you’re forced to unleash your inner warrior in order to prevent becoming your own worst enemy.” |
A New Violet is a new leaf for Beth Vandal. Following her tenure with Summer Day Rescue and That I Am, Vandal made the move to go solo in 2017, releasing ‘That I Am’ as well as a duo of post-pandemic singles, following a hiatus. Joining Sean Manvell, Abner Jara and Ryan Ledbetter, Vandal’s new project, A New Violet is the coming together of a diverse array of musicians. With hometowns ranging from Chile to Baltimore and influences ranging NOFX to Animals as Leaders, the quartet hone a sharp mix of 90’s pop-punk, 00s alternative rock, with a distinctly contemporary execution. November 2022 single “Runaway” was the first under the A New Violet moniker, with the new album building on a punchy blend of throwback melodic punk, jagged alternative rock edges and a wave of blossoming pop sensibility. “Trust us when we say Orlando pop punks, A New Violet will be your new favorite band.” – The Honey Pop The Heat is Getting Hotter is a statement-making, fist-pumping rookie effort from the Florida natives, who show a cohesive maturity and conviction in their delivery, despite their newcomer status. The record a rambunctious iteration of melodic punk, dressed in both old and new school influence.
