When Fever 333 announced their formation back in 2017, fans of Letlive. had cause to believe frontman Jason Aalon Butler’s union with members of The Chariot and Night Verses could lead to the birth of one of that generation’s most exciting new bands. It’s not really worked out that way, though.
They were always superb live; they filled some impressively sized venues, and they even got a Grammy nomination. But with only one album and a pair of EPs in that time, and with many of that previous audience bemoaning Fever 333’s music being cleaner, simpler and more sloganeering than the deep complexities of their earlier work, it feels like much of their momentum has been massively lost. Moreover, two thirds of the original line-up is gone, leaving just their clear MVP, Jason, left alongside an entirely new bunch of bandmates.
