Avoid Announce Creature of Habit EP + Tour Dates with Belmont
Avoid are thrilled to announce their upcoming EP, titled Creature of Habit. The EP arrives November 14 via UNFD. Pre-order it here. The band also has shared the visualizer for the single “Sour Apple.” Watch it here.
“We’re so stoked to release our new track, ‘Sour Apple,'” says vocalist Benny Scholl. “What’s funny is this name initially came up just as a demo name, ’cause there was a Sour Apple-flavored vape in the room. We worked out the instrumentals, and then when we finished the vocals and the lyrics, we were trying to come up with what the song will be called. The song is about reflecting on the past and letting go, but also being able to be upset when things haven’t always gone your way. In a way, kind of being a ‘Sour Apple’ about things sometimes, and we realized that the name ended up representing the song perfectly.”
Creature of Habit EP Tracklist:
1. Sour Apple
2. The Song of the Summer
3. Over Now
4. BURN
5. If It Hurts
6. Song 2
