0The Briggs Announce New EP + Song Premiere
LA punk quartet The Briggs will be releasing a self-titled five-song EP on May 5th. The release will be on limited edition purple vinyl as well as CD and the band will be playing a CD release show at The Slidebar in Fullerton, CA on May 2nd to celebrate.
You can pre-order the CD now and Punk News is hosting the premiere of the track Broken Bones, so check it out now.
Briggs brothers, Joey and Jason, have been touring the world for over ten years and are especially excited about this release. Joey commented:
“These songs are very much autobiographical. I’ve been through some really big life changes in the past few years. I became a dad, I basically put my career on hold in order to be around for my family and as much as I wouldn’t change that fact, it was a major transition to go through. Coming from being on the road 8 months out of the year, to barely touring at all. Being in a group with 3 other dudes to doing my own thing. A lot of the subject matter is that, coming to terms with way things played out, becoming self aware of how all my bad habits have effected my life. Not all in just some super downer way, it’s just looking at everything and going, “Damn, this has been some shit! Alright” It’s fun, it’s upbeat, it’s from the heart.
Bottom line is I miss fucking playing punk rock music. I love making music with my brother, I love screaming till my voice is gone. This life is all I know and I’m thankful for everything that I’ve been through throughout this whole process.”
