‘Burnout’ is the brand new single taken from Victory Pill’s forthcoming album ‘The Digital Divide’ released on April 4th 2011.  With the longplayer set to drop on May 2nd ‘Burn Out’ delivers a wonderfully re-occurring insight into the bands beautifully crafted and intuitive songwriting set against a backdrop of unforgiving electronic firestorms and raging guitars. 

Victory Pill, aka Jim Davies and Pete Crossman are complete with guest lead vocalist and co-conspirator, Graeme Cornies (front man of Canadian industrial band Triptaka).  Immersed in a landscape of textures and harmony the driving guitars and vocals sit perfectly on top of the sub-laden beats, leaving just enough space in the verse to really let ‘Burn Out’ breath before exploding into an anthemic chorus. Such is the exquisite weave between rock and dance that the track would be just as well received in front of a Reading Festival audience as it would be kicking off the weekend with Annie Mac.

It comes as no surprise then that legendary dance pioneers Empirion have chosen a remix of this track to be their first release in thirteen years! If that’s not enough there are also mixes from Smash Hifi (Marten Horger & Leeroy Thornhill, ex-Prodigy), Jon Mckee and a massive dubstep re-rub from Steve Lavers. 

Music CV’s doing get much more impressive than that of Jim Davies. His ascent was rapid (having first picked up a guitar at 16!) and in 1995 a chance meeting with Liam Howlett resulted in Davies being invited to play on tour with the Prodigy including the infamous 1995 headline slot at Glastonbury. The band were so impressed that they got him down to the studio to record on what was to become ‘Fat Of The Land’. Not resting on his laurels he then joined cult industrial punk band Pitchshifter, lending his signature sound to the band’s two best selling albums ‘www.pitchshifter.com’ and ‘Deviant’, thus cementing his reputation as one of the country’s most prodigious guitar talents.  It was a few years later at Leeroy Thornhill’s (Prodigy) studio that Davies met Pete Crossman and the two formed a strong musical bond which has seen them collaborate on various projects including Davies solo album, various remixes and their own original material in Victory Pill. Davies has also recently sessioned for drum 'n' bass supremo Subfocus, General Midi and global breaks star Hyper (including Hypers new album ‘The Panic” due out in April)

Three years on from the release of their critically acclaimed self titled debut album, VP’s forthcoming long player is an explosive yet harmonically rich offering that blurs the line between electronic and live instrumentation. ‘The Digital Divide’ not only shines a light on the incredible sonics that Davies evokes from his trusty guitar but also shows off Crossman’s range as a producer and beat aficionado. It’s a crossover record of epic proportions. The title itself neatly sums up the conceptual thought behind the music and invites the listener on a journey of discovery to pinpoint exactly where that divide is.

‘Burn Out’ is due for release on 11/04/11 and includes remixes from Steve Lavers, Smash Hifi, Jon Mckee and legendary dance music pioneers Empirion, their first release in over 13 years!
