Escape with Romeo has announced a new single, a cover of WestBam’s "You Need the Drugs," following their acclaimed 2024 album. The track, infused with the band’s dark EBM and post-punk style, was inspired by founder Thomas Elbern hearing the original version at a New Year’s Eve party. Accompanied by the B-side "Hunting Season" and a vibrant music video by artist Drain Hope, this release showcases the band’s evolution and creativity. Additionally, their recent live track collection, Same As It Never Was, adds more depth to their discography.
