A Very Special Episode turn DIY grit into alt-rock gold on explosive new single ‘But I’m a… Starr’

Brooklyn trio A Very Special Episode are entering an exciting new era with the release of their ferocious new single ‘But I’m a… Starr,’ alongside the announcement of their self-titled EP, AVSE, due July 31.

Serving as the opening statement from the forthcoming EP, the track captures the highs and hardships of life as an independent band, transforming years of perseverance into a blistering slice of alternative rock. Driven by thunderous rhythms, razor-sharp guitars and an impassioned vocal performance from bassist and singer Kasey Heisler, ‘But I’m a… Starr’ channels frustration into something exhilarating, refusing to sacrifice melody for intensity.

Forged across years on Brooklyn’s DIY circuit, A Very Special Episode have steadily built a reputation as one of the city’s most compelling live acts, taking their powerful blend of noise rock, alternative and punk to audiences across the US, UK and Japan. Following the acclaim of ‘Freak Me Out’, the band now return with their most focused and hard-hitting material yet.
