Ahead of their massive headline tour throughout the United States, Australian metalcore rising stars Melrose Avenue just dropped their sensual—and slightly NSFW—new single, “Taste,” via Hopeless Records.
Vocalist and songwriter Vlado Saric says, “’Taste’ marks the next phase of Melrose Avenue stepping out of the light and letting our darker inhibitions take over—it’s about freedom, the right to be sexual, to be desired, and to desire. We felt our fanbase was ready for this side of us, and we wanted to give them exactly that.”
He adds, “To celebrate the release, we’ll be touring the world over the next six months, starting in Australia with our friends TX2 and Rain City Drive in March, followed by 35 dates across the USA in April-May with Autumn Kings and Stray View, before heading to Europe in June to play some of the most iconic metal and punk festivals on the planet. We’re excited, refreshed, and ready, and we hope our fans are just as excited to come on this journey with us.”
In the spring, the band will be hitting the road with Autumn Kings and Stray View in the States. Check out the full run below.
