Suck Brick Kid – It’s Okay… Probably (Official Music Video)
From the LP “The End Is What I Want”, out on Smartpunk Records.
SUCK BRICK KID will drop their new album The End Is What I Want via Smarpunk Records on May 17.Pre-orders for the album are available here.Ahead of the album release, the band is also debuting two singles: “It’s Okay…Probably“ and “Unacceptable.”So it’s double the fun. Think back to the last time you visited your local dive bar or venue’s doodle-filled bathroom and peered at the walls. Did you stop to take note of the musings or the scrawling so delicately placed on the wall? Did it make you laugh? Did it make you cry? Did it make you angry or upset? Did you contribute? Did you rewrite history? Don’t worry — your secret is safe with us.Ultimately, though, Suck Brick Kid’s upcoming album is a fun, yet introspective punk record about how they think you felt when you inscribed your life’s work to that snot rocket-inhabited bathroom stall. It’s a little dirty, a little irreverent, and totally fun. It’s also a major source of inspiration for the new album. More on that in a second, though…Speaking about the new single “It’s Okay…Probably,” the band says, “Mental health is no joke — but we are. This track is a colorful re-telling of someone who is ‘going through it’ but is masking or pushing it all deep down to not appear ‘crazy.’ However, after hearing what this character is dealing with, we are certain you may end up just using the ‘C’ word to describe them.”THE END IS WHAT I WANT TRACK LISTING:“I Wrote On The Wall! Take That Society!”“It’s Okay… Probably““What I Do When I Black Out Is None Of My Business”“You Can Paint Over Me But I’ll Still Be Here”“Silence Is Golden But Duct Tape Is Silver”” Wish I Brought A Life Vest”“Life Ain’t All Burritos and Strippers My Friend” “Beware Of Limbo Dancers”“Drunk Octopus Wants To Fight” “Unacceptable”“The End Is What I Want”With a decade of beers literally under their belt, Suck Brick Kid have defined themselves as “loud as fuck and fast as fuck.” This is mainly because their vocabulary is small and rudimentary, at best. But also because they really do both of these things better than most. They don’t take themselves too seriously and that’s infinitely refreshing!With a slew of conceptual albums already out, Suck Brick Kid aimed high for this new release and found inspiration in one of the lowest places imaginable…a dive bar bathroom. Bathroom graffiti is often over-looked, over-pissed-on, or even over-appreciated (I saw you draw a penis on that stick figure you dirty dog) but Suck Brick Kid wanted to tap into the mindset of some of these individuals and explore what they were (maybe) going through when they made their mark. This opened up possibilities for the songs that vocalist Grant Tchekmeian and guitarist Ian Marchionda cleverly navigated, as they crafted some of the most insane and absurd lyrical content to date. The End Is What I Want should strike a chord with any lover of punk music, dive bars, both of those things, or people who just like a cheeky poop joke — no that was not one, but you see what I did there. This record is sure to put this band six feet under, in wooden suits, and left for the worms.But before that happens, they’ve graced stages of FEST in Jacksonville, Florida, and have also toured alongside Unwritten Law, Palisades, Set Your Goals, and more. However, the band is survived by the following family members (Grant Tchekmeian on vocals, Ian Marchionda on guitar, Daniel Valery on drums, and Hayden Cler on bass).
