Interview with girlfriends
We had the pleasure of interviewing girlfriends over Zoom video!
Pop-punk duo girlfriends (Travis Mills + Nick Gross)announce their new album (e)motion sickness out June 17th via Big Noise and release two exhilarating new tracks, "High Again" and "Toaster for a Swim."
\u201cHigh Again\u201d mixes different contradictions with a lyrical playfulness akin to Panic! At The Disco and begins with a simple guitar strum, while \u201cToaster For A Swim\u201d takes the drama of a breakup and turns it up to 11 with a fiery blend of riffs and breathy vocals.
(e)motion sickness is the highly anticipated follow-up to the bands\u2019 self-titled debut, which was produced by John Feldmann (5 Seconds Of Summer, blink-182, The Used), and included standout tracks like \u201cCalifornia,\u201d \u201cWhere Were You\u201d (featuring Travis Barker), and \u201cJessica.\u201d Girlfriends conjure songs that are once pleasingly familiar, warmly unique and passionately vulnerable and (e)motion sickness is just that.
\u201cThis is the most vulnerable I\u2019ve been through my music,\u201d Mills says. \u201cThe music I made in the past was fun, but it wasn\u2019t an accurate representation of anything I was going through in my life. I had profound experiences and tragic losses, but I didn\u2019t talk about them. I struggled with severe anxiety and depression. So, there\u2019s a lot in girlfriends\u2019 songs that I\u2019ve never said before. This kind of music really allows those topics to come to life and accentuate them.\u201d
The two new tracks follow \u201cMissing You\u201d and \u201cPretty Mouth,\u201d which will also be included on the new album. Channeling the anguish of a breakup into a pure cathartic release, the tracks soar with molten intensity.
Praised by Alternative Press, SPIN Magazine, Loudwire and more, girlfriends make music both timely and timeless, while providing a fresh twist to the caffeinated pop-punk they grew up on.
In concert, the duo are a live force to be reckoned with. With their energy being magnified tenfold live, girlfriends have sold out venues like The Roxy in Los Angeles and and recently shared the stage with Bad Suns at The Fonda and The Observatory, Santa Ana. Stay tuned for additional tour dates into 2022.
