Los Angeles, CA. – It’s here and they’re back! Van Go Go’s new single and video for “Watch It Burn” is out NOW! This Michigan rock band has racked up over 1.3 million Spotify streams and is being played on radio stations all over the world. “Watch It Burn” is a banger that you need to experience yourself so dig in!
Van Go Go is Nathan Mackinder (vocals), Jason Schaller (guitar), Paxton Olney (bass) and Jonah Brockman (drums).
MacKinder says, “With “Watch It Burn”, we really wanted to put together a straight-ahead rock song with power guitars and booming drums, the type of rock song we all grew up with that a kid can learn to play in his basement and blast at maximum volume.”
He continues, “Outwardly “Watch It Burn” may sound like it’s about giving up, but it’s more about moving on from a toxic situation. Some people are so bullheaded that they will let their whole world burn down around them before they admit that they made a mistake. I initially wrote the song about the current political divide in the U.S., but it can easily translate to a failing relationship, a dead-end job or struggle with addiction. There is something sinister about the tone of the song and that the character is willing to let someone fail as a sort of lesson. It’s not necessarily the type of person I would want to be, but it’s certainly a genuine emotional response that I’ve experienced when completely exhausted and frustrated from a disagreement going nowhere.”
“Watch It Burn” was produced by Super-Producer/Engineer Chuck Alkazian (Pop Evil, Soundgarden, Tantric) at legendary Pearl Sound Studios (Asking Alexandria, Eminem, Filter).
