Philadelphian Folk-Punks Mischief Brew are to release a new album in May. Titled ‘This Is Not For Children’, the album is to be released on Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles Records. Vocalist Erik Petersen has made a statement on the record:
“‘The Stone Operation’ was a traveler’s record, spanning worldwide, taking you everywhere from Paris to Dallas to Romania to Nevada City. ‘This Is Not For Children’ is more home-based, using Philly and the state of PA as the backdrop, a running theme throughout. This record hunkers down at the South Philly dive bar around the corner from the practice space and shares stories of home, deaths of friends, gentrification, squatting, coal mining, baseball, working, drinking, and horror movies… yet we think any person in any city will relate to it. It’s also simpler in instrumentation: less chaotic ornamentation, not as much clanging and banging. No banjos, more punk, less “Gypsy”…if you will.”
Intriguing. More details as they come.
