A few years after the release of their self-titled debut LP, Philadelphia four-piece Full Bush have a compelling new EP ready to go. The five tracks on Movie Night further demonstrate this group’s ability to drastically change up their sound at will. Almost spacey and ethereal at times, Movie Night also has moments of pure punk ferocity (witness the finale of album closer “One Second). I found that the frequently lovely though occasionally abrasive vocals were a definite highlight of this record.
Premiering here, we’ve got the EP’s penultimate and perhaps most groove-oriented track, “Wild Heart.” Frontwoman Kate has this to say about the track: “Learning to embrace what sets you apart and how you can embody those parts of yourself that perhaps you were told weren’t socially acceptable for one reason or another is what 'Wild Heart' is all about. I wrote it at a time when I was struggling to find answers to why I was stuck repeating habits that weren’t serving me, and beginning to do inner child and shadow work helped make sense of the cognitive dissonance I’d been experiencing. The culmination of the song’s message is to stop fighting the lies you tell yourself and instead listen to and feed the pieces of yourself that are screaming to break free and embrace the wildness of who you are without fear."
Movie Night is out December 3rd on Brutal Panda Records and can be preordered here. The band also has a record release show scheduled at Johnny Brenda’s in Philly on December 16th. Finally, Full Bush has partnered with a trio of artists on some pretty sweet merch with all proceeds going to deserving nonprofit organizations. Check that out here. Get your groove on with "Wild Heart" below.
