Annie DiRusso
Releases New Single ‘Back In Town’
Debut Album Super Pedestrian Out Now
UK Dates Announced
Plays The Great Escape Festival Friday May 16th
One of the most exciting new acts from across the pond, Annie DiRusso releases her brilliant new single ‘Back In Town’. The track is taken from her stunning debut album Super Pedestrian and comes ahead of a run of UK dates this May. Listen to ‘Back In Town’ HERE & watch the video HERE.
An infectious, indie-pop banger ‘Back In Town’ is Annie DiRusso at her very best – heartfelt, sprinkled with humour and irresistibly catchy. "I wrote the line, 'you told me your friend says I've got pretty eyes, but you don't tell your friends you fuck me all the time' - I was like, I can't write that lyric, because I don't need this to be about sex again," Annie said of the track. But she pushed back on her self-doubt and realised that was a damn good line for one of her best songs to date. "I was just like, I need to consider that maybe what I think is good."
Following US tours with HAIM, Samia, Declan McKenna, and beabadoobee, Annie DiRusso is heading to the UK for the very first time for a run of dates in May 2025. Kicking off at Leeds Brudenell Social Club on May 4th, Annie will also headline Omeara in London on May 7th and will play a run of dates across the UK and Ireland as part of The Road To The Great Escape Tour. The tour culminates with a show at Komedia in Brighton as part of The Great Escape on Friday May 16th. More info HERE.

Super Pedestrian, produced by Caleb Wright (Hippocampus, Samia) follows DiRusso’s critically acclaimed EP God, I Hate This Place, and two straight years on the road. This era of joyful abandon and radical openness suffuses the new album, and the party-stoic mindset unlocked something in her..
“A lot of the album is about this push and pull of acceptance and resistance. It's me learning to surrender and about not being in the passenger seat of your own life (even though I never officially got my driver’s license),” Annie said of her debut album. Super Pedestrian marks a new era for the artist. "I feel like a much more balanced, fully formed version of myself. "I'm so excited to just show people where I'm at and how I'm feeling. I want this album to show people it's okay to have fun."
Based in Nashville, Annie DiRusso was born in NYC and now wears the influence of both of these cities on her sleeve. Blending buzzing garage rock guitars and high-energy performances with a pop-infused flair, the magic she creates in her hooks and melodies is apparent in her previously released singles and debut EP.
Annie has made quite a mark on the touring world since the launch of her career amidst the pandemic, supporting artists like HAIM, Samia, Declan McKenna, beabadoobee, Djo, Peach Pit and more as well as selling out headline shows at venues such as New York’s Music Hall of Williamsburg, Nashville’s Basement East and Boston’s The Sinclair. She’s recently released her first ever full-length album, Super Pedestrian. Now set for her first visit to the UK, Annie DiRusso is set to be one of the most talked about artists of 2025.
