Criminally Insane: Weekend Playlist by Beau Beau From Avail

by | Mar 29, 2019 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops one scorcher of a playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This time around, with all the excitement surrounding the return of Avail on July 19th at The National, we decided to dig back into our archives and bring you the excellent playlist Avail’s exuberant “cheerleader,” Beau Beau, put together for us late last year. It’s filled with maniacal punk, energetic hip hop, and raging metal to get your juices flowing before their reunion. We hope you managed to get tickets this morning, and we look forward to seeing you there for live coverage during the sold-out show.

Keep on that wall of death, Virginia.
