Brutalligators Announce Still Here
I get a lot of tunes across my desk every day, and some are easy to turn off. But, I couldn’t turn off this Brutalligators single, and in fact, kept coming back to it more than I’d like to admit. Of the handful of singles they’ve made available from their new LP, this one’s perhaps the one that seems most likely to catch the indie and the punk kids all at once. There’s something in the verses that feels both British and not too far off from what the Weakerthans brought to the table on their first LP; it’s all about the set up for the exuberance that smashes through in the chorus, instantly hooking you as it balances out the pop with a slight bit of a growl. Still Here already sounds super rad, and it drops via Fika recordings on November 21st.
