Italy-based alternative-industrial rock act Noir Addiction have released the new single “Serve Me Some Crime” via the Berlin-based Soulpunx Entertainment label. The track arrives with an official video directed and edited by Jack Lucas Laugeni.
“’Serve Me Some Crime’ started from a really simple feeling: sometimes life gets too serious. Too structured. Too polite. The word “crime” in the song isn’t literal it’s more about breaking small, invisible rules. It’s about those moments when you don’t want to behave exactly how you’re expected to. A regular Sunday can feel predictable, almost scripted, and the song plays with the idea of shaking that up adding a bit of danger, irony, or mischief to something ordinary,” says frontman Sonny Lanegan.
And he adds: “At its core, the song is about freedom not the peaceful, inspirational kind, but the messy kind. The kind where you allow yourself to be contradictory, to not have it all figured out, to embrace a bit of chaos instead of pretending you’re always in control. It’s me saying: if life insists on being absurd, I might as well play along.”
“Serve Me Some Crime” is the first preview of “Pretty Things Don’t Last”, due on July 16. The single is available now on all platforms.
