Today, we’re amped to share another brand-new Bad Cop/Bad Cop song off their upcoming double A-side 7”, Shattered/Safe & Legal! While you’ve already had a taste of “Shattered,” we’re now excited to present the next installment. Set to release on December 8th and available for pre-order, you can check out the second single, “Safe & Legal,” below. The release coincides with a period of heightened threats to abortion rights in the United States and around the world. BCBC is leveraging their platform to raise awareness and advocate for universal abortion access. Linh, the band’s bassist, shared her thoughts on the song below:

Abortion is a crucial aspect of healthcare, and everyone should have the right to access it without facing any form of social judgment. Our ongoing effort is to remove legal restrictions and integrate them as a routine medical procedure. It’s a private healthcare matter, plain and simple.
