NYC’s Gnarcissists Release New Single ‘Broadway Baby’
The first taste of Gnarcissists’ debut LP has arrived as an unapologetically raw punk song that lingers with inspiration from the NYC greats. Recorded last summer with Gus Oberg and Johnny T beneath a bar in the East Village of Manhattan, the track carries the same manic rhythm of its origin, breathing life into the stale and mundane.
Influenced by animation and a love for 70s cinema, lead vocalist Matthew Orr pitched an idea for the ‘Broadway Baby’ screenplay that delivers a rare breed of music video genre. A piece about the long-standing NYC ‘Cop Shot’ reward programme is transformed into the perfect backdrop by visual artist Kingcon2k11, widening the single’s irreverent and tongue-in-cheek style.
With a catchy chorus about the desperation to be someone’s babe on a stage, ‘Broadway Baby’ carries the straight-to-the-point nature of a classic punk anthem that is hard to ignore.
