Alternative rock outfit Violet Breed expands their sonic footprint today with the release of their fourth single, “Stay Away,” which features a high profile collaboration. The track introduces a heavy partnership with Brian Wheat of the legendary rock band Tesla, and the rising singer songwriter Alex. This new recording delivers a concentrated dose of nineties grunge aesthetics, mixed with a sharp modern edge. Listeners find a landscape of gritty guitar work and explosive percussion, that supports a persistent melodic hook.
The production marks a shift toward a darker and more substantial atmosphere for the group. This evolution is a direct result of the creative synergy found in the studio, during the recording sessions. Brian Wheat notes that the song is a perfect melding of classic and modern sound. Critics and early listeners are hailing the track as a relentless powerhouse of authentic emotional energy. The sheer scale of the instrumentation provides a heavy backdrop for the vocal performance.
Alex explains that the band captured a new darkness in their writing and overall sound, with this release. Brian Wheat pushed the boundaries with the production to make the track sonically heavier, and grittier than previous efforts. The artist describes the work as a personal exploration of saving someone from self destruction. It focuses on the moment a person chooses to remain isolated emotionally, to prevent others from falling alongside them. This narrative depth adds a layer of vulnerability to the aggressive musical arrangement.
The arrival of “Stay Away” adds to a successful streak of chart entries for the band. Previous singles “Awake” and “10 Years Sober” earned significant positions on both the SMR Charts, and Mediabase Activator. Their third release, “Endless Days,” also maintained this upward momentum in the rankings. With music video views now exceeding 650000 across their catalog, the group continues to establish a firm presence in the current rock scene.
