RVG Announce Brain Worms + Share New Single

I’ve been high upon RVG since I first stumbled upon A Quality of Mercy, and now that there’s officially a new record on the calendar, I’m ramping up my support once again. Based upon this first single, the group seems to have picked up where Feral left us, taking giant steps into huge anthemic pop rock, with just a few more hints at some sheen and polish coming through on the new record’s first single. The guitars drive the tune forward, but you can clearly hear the passion in Romy’s vocals, which I can’t wait to hear when its live at this year’s SXSW festival; it’s one of the things that makes this band so captivating. Really stoked to hear where Brain Worms takes; it drops in June via Fire Records.
