Talking 'This Ain't Gonna End Well…' with Milli of Mean Bikini
Cumberland, British Columbia’s Mean Bikini pour their heart and soul into everything they do and that is extremely apparent on their new album This Ain’t Gonna End Well…. The band’s indomitable energy infuses each of the 13 tracks which find them building on their dynamic punk sound as they take cues from hardcore punk, skate punk, and a hint of surf to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Powerful music needs powerful lyrics and Mean Bikini has those in droves whether they are talking about mental health, shining a light on the worsening state of the world and harmful policies, exploring their experiences with neurodiversity, or celebrating community. No matter how bleak things may seem, Mean Bikini proves that there is a light in the darkness that burns brighter when we come together.
This Ain’t Gonna End Well… is available now via Outhouse Records. You can order a digital copy here and you can pre-order a physical copy here.
