Brooklyn, NY power-pop band Onesie has a new album on the way, leading with a new video called "Meetcha At Minnies (The Captain's Song)."
 
The song is inspired by an act of violence in the mid '90s in upstate New York where a protagonist who takes a bullet to the groin from someone claiming to have a microchip implanted on their own.

“At the time this deeply disturbing hostage situation seemed so random," vocalist Ben Haberland says. "It became something people on campus joked about, which is pretty heartless and would be ridiculous in today’s context. The details always sort of bounced around in my subconscious and they spilled forth in a bit of narrative in this rather poppy song. The lyrics also gesture towards how one tries to reconcile their changing world view over their own timeline.”

The band's fourth LP is due this summer and is currently untitled. It will release via Sell The Heart Records.
