Rockers Bad Wolves have released a ne single “Paint it Red” and next month they will be joining Skillet on tour. Escape the Fate will also be joining the tour.
The upcoming tour will be the first for new lead singer Killboy (Sara Skinner).
Speaking on the upcoming tour, Killboy said, “I’m stoked that our first tour together will be with Skillet and Escape the Fate. John, AJ, Derek, and I are ready to get out there and bring this new era of Bad Wolves to the stage along with some of the songs you’ve known and loved over the years. I can’t wait to finally meet the Wolves!”
Speaking on the new single – “Paint it Red” – she adds, “‘Paint It Red’ is about being unafraid to tear everything down and start over – again and again if that’s what it takes. With blood, sweat, and tears, every single time. To live authentically and follow your heart, you have to be willing to rebuild when something no longer serves who you are. You can’t be afraid of change, failure, or starting from scratch. Sometimes growth means letting go of what you’ve built so you can create something even better. ‘Paint It Red’ is about having the courage to burn away what’s holding you back and the strength to begin again.”
Bandmate Boecklin added, “‘Paint It Red’ is a metaphor for those moments in life when being polite, diplomatic, or even democratic, no longer works. Not all the time. Not often. But there comes a point when enough is enough. There are moments when it’s time to stop asking for permission and start making decisions for yourself. To do what you want to do, regardless of the consequences. Even if it’s the wrong decision, at least it’s yours. Then you live with it. Burn it down. Tear it apart. Cause some chaos if that’s what needs to happen. There’s something freeing about reaching that point – when you know it’s time to sound the alarm and let everyone know to back the f*** off. ‘Paint It Red’ is about taking control, owning your choices, and refusing to let anyone else dictate your path.”
