Sacramento based metal duo DONT YOU DARE has just dropped their debut EP ‘S.O.S’ via The Artery Foundation. To celebrate the release of the EP, the band shares new single “BURNING OUT”.
Guitarist Matt English shares, “’BURNING OUT’ is about the emotional burnout turned anger and resentment of trying to save a toxic relationship that keeps taking pieces of you until there’s nothing left to give…The line ,’Everything I love has left me now, everything I love is burning down,’ is the realization that fantasy and reality can no longer co-exist, when you realize how much of your worth and identity has been attached to that person that you’re falling away from. The helplessness of being stuck in a cycle where you feel like you’re always the one who has to change, always the one taking blame, and no matter what you do, nothing can save it.”
Frontman Noah Duarte states, “S.O.S is a call for help, every song is a different situation I went through emotionally or literally. Late nights, days that didn’t seem to end, staring at the ceiling with questions running through my head and no answers in sight. S.O.S as a whole was three years of hard work, long headache-induced sessions, screaming until my voice gave out, generated into five songs that show the world who DONT YOU DARE is and what we will continue to be!”
He continues, "I could go on and on about this EP and how much I am thankful to everyone who worked on it, including my brother and best friend, Matt English, my manager and RIDE OR DIE, Matt Scarpelli, or the person who went out on a limb and gave us a chance, Eric Rushing. But I will give it to the fans to listen to and love as much as we do; to sing along with us every night, because without people to listen to these songs, DONT YOU DARE would be nothing. So here's to our debut EP, S.O.S, and to the beginning of DONT YOU DARE. Thank you to everyone who helped along the way and pushed me and Matt to our breaking point, to be the best version of ourselves day in and day out. This EP is everyone's to enjoy and cherish. I hope it means as much to everyone listening as it does to me."
