DAD BRAINS Releasing New 7" EP 'Dadditude' on June 14 (Out Digitally on June 7) - First

California punks Dad Brains return with their latest 7" colored vinyl/EP 'Dadditude' on June 14. The 4 track EP will be available digitally via all DSPs on June 7th. Vinyl is on sale starting this Friday, May 31 at: https://shop.piratespressrecords.com/. A video for the first single, "Father's Day," is now streaming here: https://youtu.be/Va9mH-npzv4. Frontman Pat Pedraza says, "I've never heard of a Fathers Day song in my life, so I was like, hey, we might actually do something original???? Hahahaha. As most of us know, it’s kinda challenging to be original nowadays. I couldn’t ask for anything more with this video and the fun we had shooting it. Families, friends, and kids getting together, kids playing instruments, getting food and water balloons launched at us, and a 20-year-old with a camera filming it...This was the highlight of my musical career so far!!!! This band of new dads/longtime musicians (members have been in bands such as No Motiv, The Missing 23rd, Creep Division, and The F-ing Wrath) started out as a creative outlet to share the trials, tribulations, and awesome-ness of dadhood. Their 2018 self-titled EP caught on with listeners and a legion of like-minded moms and dads, which led to the split 'MerryX-Mas' EP with fellow punk parents The Ramoms, released last winter. With their latest EP 'Dadditude', Dad Brains continue to mine their shared experiences of fatherhood on new tracks that examine the fears, anxieties and sheer joy that all parents experience. Dad Brains will be playing a pair of local Ventura, CA shows around the release of "Dadditude" on June 14 and 16. See show flyer below.
