Brickfight Across America
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009
Brickfight is one of the best punk bands you haven’t heard of yet.
Mitch Clem turned me on to them last year, and I eagerly agreed that we should put out a split EP with them and fellow pop-punk hero’s Shang-A-Lang.
Fifteen years later, Rainbo Records has lost shit, broken plates, forgotten about us, won’t return emails… But swears I’ll see the finished records “this week” (which they told me last week). Seriously, I’ve lost all hope, but will throw a big party once (if ever) these EPs show up at my door.
But you should throw a big party all May long, because holy fuck, Brickfight is going on tour!
