Alternative Press Premieres New Music Video From Hard Rock Act Evol Walks
Of the catchy new track, Martin-Brown tells Alternative Press: “I had been listening to a lot of bluesy rock and I really wanted to write something in that vein. When coming up with the lyrics I decided to have a bit of fun with it and write from the perspective of the “evil” woman described in a lot of the classics. The one who will happily play with your emotions and watch you suffer. ‘The Fire’ is meant to be a modern response to tracks like ‘Soul Stealer’ by AC/DC or ‘Sorrow’ by David Bowie, ‘Devil Woman’ by Cliff Richard etc. I really wanted to write something from that perspective, kind of owning the character and showing that maybe it isn’t such a terrible thing to be a bad girl.”
