Listen to Bad Buzz's new song “Under Attack”
Punknews is excited to bring you the new single "Under Attack" from Try Harder, the new EP by Canadian quartet Bad Buzz. This penultimate track from the EP take things down a little mellower, and a little more emotional. Each song so far stands out on its own, but now we're beginning to get a feel for the EP as a whole, and it is sounding pretty solid!
We've premiered one track (just about) every two weeks and are now coming around to the home-stretch: the final song will be available next Friday when the whole EP is released. Bad Buzz is also playing an album release gig on that day. You can check out the new track, and the details of that gig, below.
Bad Buzz: “If It's Right”
Punknews is overjoyed to premiere for you the third new song from Bad Buzz's upcoming EP Try Harder. That EP is due out on May 31st, but you get to check out a new track from it today!
If you've been paying attention to this new-song-every-two-weeks premiere schedule, you're now starting to get a feel for how Bad Buzz keeps the pop-punk aesthetic all while not sticking to a one-trick-pony routine. "If It's Right" is a smorgasbord of styles from low-tempo mild to high-tempo energy, likely making it the most eclectic song so far off of the EP.
Bad Buzz will be playing a record release gig on the day, and you can check out the info on that, as well as the new song, below.
