Los Angeles’ The Aquadolls is currently on tour in support of their upcoming album Charmed, set for release in June 2023.
In the meantime, they recently released some singles, such as “Burn Baby Burn”, an arena style song.



Lead singer Melissa Brooks talked about the song: “If you’re in a mood to tear down the town, blast this song to feel like the ultimate bad bitch. Featuring a distorted guitar riff channeling the energy of ‘Take Me Away’ from the 2000s movie Freaky Friday and the powerhouse of The Hives’ ‘Tick Tick Boom’, this Chris Szcech recorded track will leave the listener feeling unstoppable.”
