Columbus,
Ohio, the city that brought you
New Bomb Turks, Gaunt, Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, Lydia Loveless,
Lo-Pan, twentyonepilots, etc. has new favorite sons. Brat Curse debuts their
second full-length, and first for Anyway with the self-titled Brat Curse.
Formed in 2014 in Dayton, Ohio, by Brian Baker, Justin Baker and Chris Mengerink,
Brat Curse takes their cue from a long line of Ohio heroic art-damaged, indie rock guitar
bands. Additionally, the band members stick to a well worn Ohio pattern of
playing in a variety of bands, as Brian
plays in Dana (Heel Turn Records) and Sega Genocide (Just Because), his brother
Justin also plays in WV White (Anyway), Chris plays in Good Shade (Dirtnap) and
they welcome new comer Joe Camerlengo (Van Dale, Counterfeit Madison, Blanket
Boys). The sound of Brat Curse fondly recalls the snotty spark of their
midwestern forefathers, as well as Jawbreaker and Guided By Voices.
The album sees release on August 2, and the band will tour
extensively in the second half of 2019. LP pressing is limited to 200 copies
and will be available in LP and digital formats.
