Fever 333

A handful of years ago skies were blue for letlive. They toured the world both as headliners and as openers for bigger acts, record sales peaked… but after 15 years the band collapsed when the members realised they were no longer on the same page. Singer Jason Butler didn’t waste any time starting a new band including The Chariot guitarist Stevis Harrison. The new supergroup goes by Fever 333 and although the letlive. DNA is obvious, there is more room for experimentation. Their music can be described as a rock/rap hybrid reminiscent of Public Enemy and Linkin Park; the politically and socially engaged lyrics inevitably call to mind the pioneers of Rage Against the Machine. Initially signed by the More Hi-Hat label (Travis Barker/John Feldmann), Roadrunner scooped them up in time for the release of their full-length debut. ‘Strength in Numb333rs’ (2019) is a sonically diverse record with rap metal, soul, hip hop and funk influences. The activist lyrics opposing social inequality, authoritarianism and other social ills are the perfect match for the music. #GMM23
