Jason Aalon Butler of Fever 333 gets f$%#ing real
Manage episode 447422770 series 3250820
There aren’t any shortages of the narrative that life brings about the unexpected. That said, there are still times in which we need to be reminded of the beauty of that; which is very much what happens with this conversation I had with Jason Aalon Butler. Jason is a frontman that’s largely existed in the world of hardcore music, though to say that almost feels reductive because of Jason’s overall approach to his art. You see, Jason has always strived to buck against the conventions of the world, including the hardcore punk world he holds dear. In doing so, he’s someone who’s aggressively gone by the beat of his drum and that’s been a total mainstay of his life thus far; across both his career and personal life.
I’ve known him for many years now and have seen all those aspects of his character, but one thing about Jason that’s very crucial is how so much of the music that he makes is reflective of his lived experience. It’s literally second nature for Jason to sing about what he’s thinking, what he’s feeling and doing so in a way that doesn’t leave many questions to be asked….except for, what is that like? What is it like for someone to be so open about how they’re feeling, how they’re thinking and to do so in a way that’s extremely direct? That’s largely what we talked about across this episode, along with the new music of his band, Fever 333.
The band just dropped a new album called Darker White, a body of work that’s beyond timely. Be sure to check it out.
