JOANovARC Are Back & Release New Single 'Escape The Fire' From Upcoming EP

After a small hiatus, British female rockers JOANovARC are back with a new line-up, and their brand new single ‘Escape The Fire‘ which is the title track from their upcoming EP set for release October 18th 2024.

“‘Escape The Fire‘ paints a picture of chaos and suffering caused by those in power, driven by selfish motives. The song opens with themes of mass destruction and manipulation, as the powerful exploit the weak, leaving fear and violence in their wake. The chorus, “Escape the fire, burnt desires, you can save our souls,” reflects wanting to break free from the destruction and save what remains of humanity. Fire becomes a symbol of the devastation caused by false promises and frustration. ‘Escape The Fire‘ captures both the fear and the resilience of those trapped in a chaotic world.” – JOANovARC

The EP boasts crushing grooves, soaring vocals and strong hooks. It is a truly solid EP under the new lineup and really brings JOANovARC‘s sound to a new level in an already well established music career! To add to the excitement, the band have also recently announced that they will be supporting Gin Annie on their UK tour this month.
