AVRS Flips the Script with a Chaotic, Nostalgic New Banger 'Starstruck!'

If you ever find yourself missing the neon-soaked, chaotic energy of the late 2000s, Canadian artist AVRS (pronounced Avarice) has you covered. His new single, 'Starstruck!', is a fast-paced, 122 BPM blend of satirical rap, dance beats, and raw crunkcore attitude.

Anthony Watkins, the guy behind the moniker, spent years playing in punk and beatdown bands before transitioning into beat-making a year ago. Working out of his home setup with FL Studio and a Steinberg UR22C, he spent months dialing in a sound that he hilariously sums up as 'like you are in a car crash, while clapping cheeks.' Deeply inspired by old-school favorites like 3OH!3 and a funny nod to his wife, the track throws out ridiculous innuendos and snappy one-liners over a heavy groove. It is loud, unbothered, and exactly the kind of fun music needs right now.
