Berried Alive’s artistic continuum began in 2012 as a music venture. Since then, the project has prolifically released records and singles. To date, the Berried Alive catalog spans 6 studio albums, each paired with an instrumental compendium, and over 30 singles. The music is best described as EDM-pop with elements of trap, hard rock, metal, hip-hop, and avant-garde. The band’s fearless and infectious songs, dazzling musicianship, and theatrical flair have attracted 9.5 million YouTube views and over 120,000 Spotify listeners. Berried Alive songs have also attracted fan-shares by such notable modern icons as Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, Avenged Sevenfold’s Synyster Gates, and Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee.
Select flavor samples from the band’s recently-released album, The Mixgrape, include “Strawberry Serenity,” “Heavy Blanket,” “Blood Orange,” and “Starfishman.” The track, “Strawberry Serenity,” is an EDM-pop swirl with ethereal musicality, delicate vocals, ribbons of dexterous melodic guitar lines, and reflective lyrics from Kaylie. The haunting, “Heavy Blanket,” is a genre-smashing patchwork that threads together eerie atmospheric passages, infectious electro-pop, and chunks of brutal metal. The playful but pointed, “Blood Orange,” is coated in electronic griminess and features solo guitar passages that are as jaw-dropping as they are gorgeously lyrical. The frisky, “Starfishman,” is lighthearted lyrically and buoyed by an infectious hip-hop production aesthetic.
