A revival of 90’s alternative, Wisconsin's off-kilter rock outfit NEWSKI enlists a friend/musical influence on every track for their new LP Friend Rock, out April 7th. The first single of the forthcoming record features one of NEWSKI's biggest musical influences, Matthew Caws of Nada Surf, for call-and-answer lead vocals.
'Chemicals' is a hard-driving indie-pop smasher that illuminates how love can be the strongest vice. The VHS style video time-travels NEWSKI into the past, where he punches Hitler, partying at Woodstock, joining the band Queen, and getting tracked by the CIA in the JFK debacle.
NEWSKI enlists a friend/musical influence on every track for their new LP Friend Rock. From veterans like Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), Brian Vander Ark (the Verve Pipe), Ryan Miller (Guster), Miles Nielsen, and Scott Terry (Red Wanting Blue) to overseas acts like H Burns (France), The Secret Beach (Canada), and The Shabs (South Africa), NEWSKI compiles an internationally collaborative album from his own tiny house in Wisconsin.
The durable three-piece will hit American, European and South African highways for a 100 date touring year behind the new LP. Featuring Steve "Mr Bicep" Vorass on drums, Sean "Tubs" Anderson on 4-string & Brett Newski on guitars and vocals.
NEWSKI has played with Pixies, Violent Femmes, Courtney Barnett, Gin Blossoms, Manchester Orchestra, Better than Ezra, Barenaked Ladies, & Nada Surf and has been featured in Rolling Stone, NPR, American Songwriter, SiriusXM, Boston Globe, NBC, Billboard and SPIN.
