Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
As they near half-a-million streams —an unbelievable feat for a brand new rock band on the rise — BRKN LOVE return with the new single “Papercuts.” The track is propelled by a wild beat, robotically precise riffing and the howling hook of “Another papercut.” Singer and guitarist Justin Benlolo slips from primal verses into a vulnerable bridge before pouncing back on the arena-ready track. BRKN LOVE cut as deep as all timeless rock should. Watch out as they have all the makings of the rock band you have been waiting for. Listen HERE.
“‘Papercuts’ embodies a lot of the emotions that were circling around during the recording process,” said Benlolo. “It represents the darker sides of our lives and examines people’s egoistic and selfish attitudes — and the things that keep them away from admitting anything wrong about their lives. It’s about waking up one day and realizing you don’t know anything and seeing that you’ve been wrong all along.”
BRKN LOVE will release their Spinefarm Records debut, produced by Joel Hamilton[Highly Suspect, Pretty Lights], later this year.
The band is touring this summer with Dinosaur Pileup and in fall with Pop Evil. All current tour dates are below.
