Texas native, Austin Meade shares a new version of his killer single, “Blackout” - this time featuring Danny Worsnop, vocalist of Asking Alexandria. Listen to the track here and below.

Meade continues to establish himself as story-driven with a passion for cinematic narratives and "Blackout" showcases a more modern rock sound compared to past hits from the outspoken singer / songwriter.

Commenting on the new version, Meade had this to share: "Touring more heavily in the rock and metal scene over the last four years led me to listen to a lot of other bands we shared bills and festivals with. I’ve seen Asking Alexandria’s name all over the place and dug in. Hearing Danny’s voice reminded us of a badass rockin’ and chain smokin' Aretha Franklin. The soul and grit he brings are energetically unique. Turns out he happened to know a lot of folks in our friend circle and just moved to Nashville while we were there. The universe laid timing and opportunity in front of us; plus Danny liked what we had originally with 'Blackout'. With his help, we added more energy and a bigger ending - really finding the next level into this song.”
