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.
Jednu stvar se mora priznati Sonji, ona nikada ne odustaje. Ovo je već tko zna koji po redu album njenog projekta odnosno benda Abergaz, koji je, koliko vidim opet bend koji se sastoji od dvoje članova ako se ne varam. Na ovom novom izdanju nalazi se osam pjesama u prepoznatljivom brzom i britkom hardcore punk stilu. Tekstovi su buntovni, Sonja izražava što njoj smeta u današnjem društvu, a tematike ima podosta. Iako se radi o ponekim minimalističkim skoro haiku tekstovima, kada se čita između redova ima smisla ono o čemu se pjeva. Pjesme poput ‘EU projekti’ su brze male ode onom o čemu Sonja razmišlja. Postoje i minimalističke pjesme poput ‘Mobitel’, a moj osobni favorit na ovom albumu je ‘Malo Govno’ koje završava album u velikom stilu. Vokali se razlikuju od melodičnog pjevanja do skoro maničnog vikanja, ovisno o tome što je pjesmi potrebno. Pjesme su sve uglavnom brze sa tupa tupa bubnjevima što meni odgovara i to jako. Ovo nije najbolje izdanje Abergaza, ali je sigurno jedno od boljih u zadnjih nekoliko godina.
In this new musical offering from alternative rock act Blacktoothed, listeners are taken on a poignant journey through the highs and lows of chasing after one’s dreams. The new single magnificently intertwines melodic grace with profound lyrics that lay bare one’s soul.
‘Carried Away’ eloquently expresses the dichotomy of time – a force that both propels dreams forward and serves as a reminder of the hurdles that yet lay ahead. Each note, each lyric, invites listeners into a world where passion meets obstacle, and dreams are both a source of inspiration and a wellspring of tumultuous emotions. In the haunting refrains of ‘Carried Away’, blacktoothed provide not just a melody, but an empathetic voice to the silent struggles that echo in the hearts of dreamers worldwide.
Guitarist Mathilde comments on the new track: “Ladies and gentlemen, whilst listening to our latest release, let yourself get carried away by the highest note ever to come out of the vocal chords of a male person at Sawdust Recordings, according to our dear producer Christoph Wieczorek. Damn, Henni was hitting that g on the last chorus note like a pro!”
The band’s latest album JULI was created in collaboration with the producing team of Sawdust Recordings (Christoph Wieczorek & Julian Breucker) and shows that Blacktoothed have narrowed their sound and found their musical style.
In the past few years, Blacktoothed have gained a lot of live experience, having shared stages with well known bands like Acres, Annisokay, Bad Omens, Hands Like Houses, Polaris, Thundermother and many more, as well as through other live highlights, including opening up the Impericon Festival and other open air concerts.
