LA rock band The Score – Eddie Anthony and Edan Dover – have unleashed their new single “The Fear” today. Listen to the track now below.
On the song the band said: “The Fear” was written in a real uncertain time in our career. It was a few months after we wrote our album and we were unsure of whether or not our music was going to connect and find an audience. The song was really about us fighting back against the uncertainty and insecurity that we were manifesting within ourselves and how we needed to fight all the voices and doubt in our heads and just believe in what we were doing.”
Fresh off of their SOLD OUT headline show at the Moroccan Lounge in LA, The Score are back with another release. “The Fear” is the third song in a steady stream of new material and a follow-up to their recent single “Stronger.”
The Score siphoned a spirit of urgency into this forthcoming body of work. Inspired by rap-adjacent artists a la Post Malone and K. Flay, they amassed a growing arsenal of analog synths to “get away from the riff-based and stomp-clap organic drum sound and move to an evolving sound where the drum machines, synthesizers, and guitars worked together.”
Writing at a Hollywood and Vine spot (“right in the middle of the jungle”), they joined forces with a bevy of high-profile collaborators, JT Daly [K. Flay], Heavy [Dirty Heads, Saint Motel, Sleeping with Sirens], Adam Hawkins [Twenty-One Pilots, Muse], and Dave Bassett [Elle King, Vance Joy] and shocked that vision to life.
New York-born and Los Angeles-based duo The Score stand out as a fiery genre-defying phenomenon, incinerating the lines between rock, pop, indie, and electronic. Powered by ubiquitous anthems such as “Oh My Love,” “Legend,” and “Unstoppable,” the boys racked up 600 million cumulative streams within three years’ time over the course of two EPs—Unstoppable and Myths & Legends—and a 2017 full-length debut, ATLAS. As they ignited venues across North America, in addition their music has been used in campaigns for Jeep, NBA, and beyond. Simultaneously, tastemakers such as Billboard, Nylon, Diffuser, and more have lauded them.
