AudioGust ○ Easier

  From CANADA

eattle-based artist AudioGust presents 'Easier', which explores the mental toll of living in a world overflowing with bad news. This is the second single from his third album 'Falling From Down' — his most unflinching yet — a journey through collapse, resilience, and the fragile beauty of survival. This arrives on the trail of the post-grunge lead track 'Isotope'.

Opening with introspective verses that capture the strain of living in a world full of overwhelming news and challenges. The refrain— “Some days, it would be easier if I didn’t know”—becomes a mantra for that tension between awareness and avoidance. Midway, the song bursts into a high-energy pop-punk bridge, imagining what life might feel like if one could truly escape the weight of it all, before settling back into reflective intensity, acknowledging that life’s challenges inevitably return.

“I wrote ‘Easier’ out of frustration with how overwhelming it can be to take in all the bad news every day. There’s a fantasy in the song about how simple life might feel if you just tuned it all out — but in the end, you can’t really look away. The world always pulls you back," says Chris Evans.

"Easier serves as the emotional and thematic centerpiece of the album, hinting at a journey through struggle, growth, and resilience that listeners will encounter in the full release."

An accomplished songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, AudioGust is Chris Evans, whose journey started as a guitarist and bassist in various 1980s bands. After a decades-long detour in the software industry, he has returned to his true passion - writing and recording in his own studio, releasing loads of music and collaborating with artists worldwide.

With powerful, emotionally resonant music, AudioGust is known for his ability to blend high-energy performances with deeply personal storytelling. He has released over four dozen songs across multiple albums and EPs, including his debut 'Walk With Me', follow-ups 'Hope from Darkness' and 'Love and Pain', and his second album 'Here We Go Again', released earlier this year and exploring the highs and lows of creativity, and the unpredictable nature of inspiration.

The coming 'Falling From Down' album showcases a harder-edged post-grunge and modern rock sound while retaining the melodic hooks and storytelling that have become his signature. Combining raw rock intensity with strong melodies and emotionally resonant lyrics, AudioGust's tracks are full of energy and memorable hooks, reflecting both a deep understanding of rock’s past and a fresh, contemporary approach. His songs resonate long after the last note fades.

Crafting memorable melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, upbeat rhythms and arrangements, AudioGust's music speaks to the disenchanted and dreamers alike through sonic explorations of the modern human condition. AudioGust was also a finalist in the 2024 USA Songwriting Contest. Writing hooky anthems, AudioGust creates a sound vortex imbued with 90’s to 2000’s alt-rock, his guitar-driven music brings in a strong, driving rhythm section, big choruses and even bigger bridge sections.
 
'Easier' is out now, available from online music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The 'Falling From Down' album will be released on November 7.

"A captivating blend of pop-rock that is both instantly catchy and deeply personal... packed with melodically loaded hooks and agile rhythms that quickly get under the skin" ~ The Spill Magazine

"A musical atmosphere that combines 1980s power pop aesthetics with the fast edge of early 2000s alt-rock...  composition that feeds on contrasts: loud and gentle, confident and nervous professional and primal" ~ Skylight Webzine

"A clever slice of pop rock... Melodically loaded hooks and teasing riffs join agile rhythms, Evans' harmonious vocals adding to the virulence" ~ Ringmaster Review
