Newcastle metalcore outfit Vilify unleash a scathing new single Dread Addict and will launch it live across the East Coast on tour with Bare Bones late November.
Detailing the emotional turbulence of frequently falling into a baseless cycle of dread and manifesting a reason for the feeling, Dread Addict is about being addicted to the lows and acting out to feel in control of that reality.
“When I am at my lowest with no explanation I find myself doing the worst of the worst,” explains vocalist Amy McIntosh. “Acting like a person I don’t recognise just to have a reason to feel the way I feel. It’s almost as if nothing logical is making me feel this shitty… I better go give myself a reason to feel shitty.”
Vilify will embark on a short stint of shows across the East Coast with Sydney punks Bare Bones late November. The band will visit The Last Chance Rock & Roll Bar in Melbourne, The Duke of Enmore in Sydney, Bad Luck Bar in Brisbane for Aftermath Fest, and they’ll round things out at their own headline show at Newcastle’s Hamilton Station Hotel at the Dread Addict single launch.
