DAD JOKES - Bad Friends
DAD JOKES - Bad Friends
EP released digitally and on
cassette October 24th 2014.
Having toured Canada, the United States and Australia (hey, we can't leave them out), Auckland (NZ) punk-duo Dad Jokes now settle into a new home - MUZAI Records, who are set to release their new EP, Bad Friends, from October 24th 2014*.
With Ian and Matt previously making appearances opening for Astro Children and BBQ-ZAI in 2014, long has been the discussions between both Dad Jokes and MUZAI Records working together after the release of True Love, their previous work released through Arcade Recordings.
What listeners get is the release of a four track EP, Bad Friends - recorded after the band played punk festival Ottawa Explosion by Nick Botka (with help from Michael Ryan Dellinger) at Seattle's Vera Project. Proudly wishing to inform readers of this media release that it was recorded direct-to-tape, the EP is evocative of the band's live performances; that being a track-by-track sing along best accompanied by mountains of pizza and beer. Mastered by Auckland engineer/musician Tom Anderson only heightens the scuzzy beauty of such an EP.
The first single, "Bad Friend", follows on from the poppy-hooks of their last release, "Confidence", and hopefully inspires another utterly quotable chorus set to remain stuck in your head for the rest of 2014.
