Fusing a foundation of pop, chunky rock riffs, electro and punk, prolific NYC based guitarist, singer, songwriter and visual artist Gina Volpe is back with ‘Delete the World’ her first full-length album as a solo artist. 'Delete The World' released 02/23/24 and was kicked off by the first single, also the album's opening track, 'Drink Me.'
The single is paired with a visually stunning music video created by the award winning, Pop Surrealist and Multi-media artist, Stänzii, aka ‘The Punk Of Pixar.’ Stänzii’s mesmerizing 3D animated realms provide the perfect psychedelic backdrop for ‘Drink Me,’ a song born up from the rabbit hole of obsession, escapism and addiction.
While Volpe is known for inciting headbanging with her frenetic solos, ‘Delete the World’ proves that she’s a true musical nomad at heart. The album is a brooding, textured, experimental web of songs with echoes of indie rock, synth pop and alt rock.
'Delete The World' is a disintegration of not just traditional stylistic borders, but also mental ones. Songs like the title track, ’Currents,’ ‘The Plan,’ and ‘Escaped From the Lab’ reflect on coping mechanisms gone awry and the unintended consequences, how perception can either cut you loose or keep you confined, and the dubious assumption that humans are in control of anything.
‘Delete The World’ will be available on all streaming platforms.
Volpe started her storied career back in high school when she co-formed
the ferocious 90’s punk band Lunachicks with her friends and fellow classmates. Over the course of more than a decade, a half-dozen albums and countless world tours, Lunachicks staked their claim in rock ‘n’ roll history.
Volpe made the leap to singer and front woman in the 00’s when she launched her thundering power trio BANTAM releasing two albums and then over a decade later a new single in 2022.
In 2017 Volpe established herself as a solo artist with the release of her debut solo EP, ‘Different Animal’ produced by Barb Morrison and followed up by 2019’s “Winter to Spring” single collection and 2021's 'Chaos Agent' EP.
