Following their recent signing to Rise Records, Los Angeles punk-rockers Niis (pronounced “Nice”) have unveiled their new single and official music video for “No Flowers.” Preceded by their label debut “Earthquakes,” the exciting offering is set to appear on their EP Play Niis, due on October 23.
Vocalist Mimi Doe shares, “A lot of the songs on this record are about fitting into societal monotony. We forget to put ourselves first by doing things that bring us joy and make us feel something, or anything. And that’s something I really wanted to capture with the lyrics.”
Check out “No Flowers” below.
Doe addeded of their forthcoming EP, “Picture this. You’ve just left the movies at the mall, your mom is calling you on your brand new flip phone. You ignore it and walk into the nearest Hot Topic. A song you haven’t heard before is playing on the speakers. They don’t have the CD you wanted and he hasn’t texted you back, so you go home, flip on the tube, Buffy’s on, and she’s listening to that same song. That’s the vibe we’re going for here with Play Niis.”
