The SoCal riot grrls return with this first cut off their upcoming new album, which will see them inviting us to #LightenUp when it is released via the newly merged Fat Wreck Chords/Hopeless Records in September:
Bassist/vocalist Linh Le says of the single:
The message behind this song is Don’t Fight Back, Fight Forward. I understand why it is so easy to seek vengeance when we have been wronged, but, to me, I think we as a society need to re-evaluate what would actually be a more proactive approach to overcoming adversity. I feel very strongly that the idea of revenge only fulfills surface level instant gratification but in the long run, it just exacerbates any situation and causes more pain than it heals.
- ‘Lighten Up‘ will be released on 19 September.
- Bad Cop Bad Cop tour in November:
