Acacia Ridge has teamed up with Late Night Savior for their new track and video titled ‘Background Noise’. When two talented bands get together for a collab the end result can be somewhat mixed at times, but what we have here is a solid mix of style and substance.
With a thick sound, ‘Background Noise’ is a hard edged kick in the feels with a monster hook and bleeding heart.
Acacia Ridge vocalist Christian Mayfield says, “Background Noise is unlike anything we’ve done before. Our sound mixed with Late Night Savior’s created a lot of heart and emotion. It seemed only fitting that we hit the road to promote it. We’ve really made something special and can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
Late Night Savior frontman Brandon Johnson adds, “It’s been such a pleasure working with our boys in Acacia Ridge on this track! We wanted to create something with a ton of heart, and I think we did just that. We definitely have looked forward to creating something together for a while now, and throwing the tour into the mix is just icing on the cake! We can’t wait to get on the road and start tearing it up!”
