Fever 333 have never been strangers to experimentation, and it’s something the band brings in spades on their new track, “New West Order”. Mixing elements of West Coast hip hop, pop, and rock, frontman Jason Butler loudly proclaims his mission statement for the new and improved Fever 333: “Hear that fever west coast rock and roll, now/It's a new west order/Gangsters, hustlers, punk rock s***You don't f**k with us/It's the new west order”.
With "New West Order", Jason wants to pave the way for a new genre he's calling “gangster rock”. It is also the beginning of West Coast gangster rock as both a genre and a culture. Writing on Knotfest's official blog, Butler puts it thus:
“The beauty in disparity and these nuanced diamonds forged from the pressures we experience in alternative commodities (of all types against the background of our status quo) and, particularly, people of color. I spent about six years talking about how I felt about these governmental/societal systems and imbalances; now I'm going to talk about why I feel this way and the experiences that shaped such ideologies.”
Alongside the release of the track, Fever 333 have announced the Welcome to Tha Function tour, featuring hardcore/powerviolence giants Zulu, as well as support from MoveBHC, Hue, Clique and Bucki Sugar. We here at the Nu Metal Agenda wish for nothing but the best for all the bands and artists on the road!
