Today, the group shared a sliver of what’s to come with “A Bug’s Life,” which is preceded by the single “Centrifugal Force.” The quirky, twangy track is delightful and perfectly full of rage. Chase Petra’s upcoming sophomore full-length isn’t just a want, it’s a true necessity for some musical catharsis. The band notes, “‘A Bug’s Life’ is about not being the bigger person. It is about the moments in which violence could be the answer. It’s about… Read more »

Following the release of their chaotic single “Stickers Of Brian,” which arrived via Wax Bodega Records earlier this year, Hot Mulligan has issued their latest offering, “End Eric Sparrow And The Life Of Him,” along with an accompanying music video. Clocking in at just shy of 3 minutes, “End Eric Sparrow And The Life Of Him” shares the intensity and brevity of “Stickers Of Brian.” The track’s foundation opens with a groovy guitar riff that sets the stage for the building frustration conveyed through both the vocal delivery and the increasingly urgent instrumentation.

Hot Mulligan never stops making GREAT music. Well, that’s how it feels anyway with their new song, “Stickers Of Brian,” out via Wax Bodega Records. The dynamic track explores breaking the generational cycle of modern-day monotony, which the Michigan act is an expert at. A music video accompanies the release and is filled with absolute chaos in the workplace. It features male characters kissing everyone in a boardroom that starts to involve everyone in the vicinity. Vocalist Tades Sanville’s screams carry on behind this unraveling scene with lyrics, “Budgeting how long you’ll be alive/Why talk about it/If I’ve gotta hear… Read more »
Bands covering other bands! Emo act Ben Quad has covered their label and tourmates Arm’s Length’s song, “In Loving Memory,” via Wax Bodega. The act repurposes the original song into a faster rendition, with a concoction of modern pop-punk that’s infused with original emo riffs.

He explains that it has… Read more »
