Belgium?s heavy atmospheric three-piece BRUTUS have revealed ?Drive?, the colossal second single from their forthcoming debut album ?Burst?, due for release via Hassle Records this February 24th.
Having debuted on Daniel P Carter?s BBC Radio 1 Rock Show, and dubbed a ?a powerful and thrilling blend of punk, rock, indie and hardcore that?ll get the teeth in your skull rattling.? by the NME, singing drummer Stefanie Mannaerts reveals, ?Drive is a song that was written about someone else - I?ve had these lyrics for four years, but this is the first time they?ve really fit within a song.
It can be hard to come across aggressively without screaming and yelling, but ?Drive? is one of the tracks where I?ve tried to get the message across just by singing.
I need to be on top of my skills to pull this one off - with the drum-fills right before the verse, we tried to make it sound like we were literally pushing a drum down the stairs that keeps on playing whilst crashing down.? Recent single ?All Along? saw Brutus arrive in a pummelling, meteor-shower of sound, described by Kerrang! as ?atmospheric punk fucking rock, with a twist of Mogwai?.
They have since been championed by the likes of NME, Punktastic, Upset Magazine and more as a One to Watch for 2017, and left audiences stunned at a full capacity show at Eurosonic Noorderslag.
