Excited to share that My Best Unbeaten Brother’s ‘Pessimistic Pizza‘ is out now. You can get it on Bandcamp, and all other services. It’s a special kind of full-circle moment for Audio Antihero to work with Ben and Adam Parker again, having launched in 2009 around Nosferatu D2, and later releasing music by The Superman Revenge Squad Band, as well as Tempertwig.
If you’d like to get the full story on this debut, I recommend the great Track-by-Track feature that Ben Parker wrote for The Alternative:
We’ve been fortunate to receive a lot of wonderful press and airplay recently courtesy of folk like Post-Trash, WKDU, WIDR, RRR FM, Start-Track, Austin Town Hall, Various Small Flames, For the Rabbits, God Is In The TV, Sweeping the Nation, MP3hugger, and many others.
“It’s a refreshing plea in a world obsessed with irony and curated authenticity…There is an urgency to take care of the people around us, rather than a navel-gazing angst.” – POST TRASH
“My Best Unbeaten Brother triangulates a space between the baritone-led post-punk revival of Alligator, the quirked-up indie pop of Waited Up Til It Was Light, and the math-tinged emo of Charmer. In other words, Pessimistic Pizza is an absolute must-listen.” – THE ALTERNATIVE
“…Laconic vocal delivery against the spiky, agitated riffs that made The Fire Engines 1980’s Postcard Records legends as the tight angularity simply heaves with the best kind of faux jangle.” – JANGLEPOPHUB
“For anyone who’s ever stood at a crossroads, contemplating the leap into the unknown, let this album remind you that your choices are valid, your doubts are shared, and your paths are worth treading with a soundtrack as thoughtful as this one.” – JESSE’S BASEMENT
“The main point to take away from Pessimistic Pizza is that life changes; it has its difficulties, but it also has beautiful moments where we thrive and grow, with every story being different. That’s the beautiful part of being human.” – DISTORTED SOUND MAGAZINE
There’s also a number of great interviews and features with the band on sites and radio stations like Resonance FM, Music N Gear, Abominations, and more:
We so appreciate everyone’s support. If you’d like to say hello to the band, you can find them via Linktree.
