Asking Alexandria’s Ben Bruce addresses Attila’s “Callout 2”: “We write real songs that resonate”

Currently on the first leg of their co-headlining run with Black Veil Brides (and in support of their new self-titled record), Asking Alexandria are certainly gearing up for a big year. While the aforementioned album certainly threw long-time fans of the band for a loop with a more streamlined, pop-influenced rock sound, it actually contains some of the best and most consistent songs Asking Alexandria have ever written. Don’t believe us? Give the album another spin, it’s solid.

On the other hand, you have Attila. Known for a long time as a party band not to be taken very seriously, they are still very successful and are always in the public eye in one form or another. It’s with that being said that the band’s new song, “Callout 2”, attacks (or really just says “fuck” a lot, kinda like Limp Bizkit’s “Hot Dog”) everyone from Tom Brady to Asking Alexandria vocalist Danny Worsnop. So it’s not a huge surprise that Asking Alexandria guitarist Ben Bruce took to Twitter to address the song. While not specifically addressing it by name, it’s fairly easy to tell what is being hinted at here. Of course, would it really surprise anyone if this was a prelude to a tour of some sort? Not likely, but who knows?

We don’t need to write a “call out” song. We don’t need to make up stories. We write real songs that resonate. We have progressed and moved on. And we are beyond proud to be part of your lives. Here is to the next 10 years.
