Neighborhood Brats - Confines of Life [DELUXE PACKAGE!] – New LP

$ 25.00

Includes blue marbled (blue with red swirls) vinyl Green Noise-exclusive variation, an extra sleeve of the album, and a poster (folded in half) and a large-size shirt!

On Confines of Life, the third studio album from California punk band Neighborhood Brats, the band dives head-first into songs about environmental crisis, systemic oppression, interpersonal/intrapersonal conflict, and the trappings of modern existence. Following blueprints of ‘77 punk, ‘80s hardcore and elements of post-punk, the diverse songwriting influences of vocalist Jenny Angelillo and guitarist George Rager are showcased throughout, putting the band in their element, while expanding on their original concept.

Recorded in February and March 2020 at Station House studio with Grammy Award-winning producer/engineer Mark Rains, the band had barely finished production when Los Angeles went into its initial shutdown in response to the incoming pandemic. Multiple 2020 tours were subsequently canceled as the music industry, and life in general, came to a standstill.

As live music faces challenges unlike any other in modern existence, the band looks forward to a time when they can safely return to the road. With Nick Aguilar (drums) and Mike West (bass), Neighborhood Brats stands at-the-ready. As their song goes... “We’ll Find You.”

We wrote this record coming off the busiest year in the band’s history. Mark and I were wrapping cables when LA shut down. Jenny and I said goodbye outside, as we realized that our tours would most likely be getting canceled.

This album is for everyone.
