Tigers Jaw - "BREEZER"
Photo by Rebecca Lader
One of the biggest hits of this year's Something in the Way Festival, Tigers Jaw, are back with a new single. "BREEZER" is a giant alt-rock meets emo power ballad. You know how mainstream emo and pop punk bands used to cover 80's power ballads ironically and for a laugh? Tigers Jaw are working a power ballad completely earnestly, and the results are fantastic. This shows the Scranton, PA band wearing their hearts fully on their sleeves, and Brianna Collins' vocals are stunning here. "BREEZER" isn't a song concerned with being cool, it's a song that's pure emotion, and it's making us love Tigers Jaw even more.
Brianna Collins says of the band's latest single:
“I tend to romanticize past versions of myself in moments of uncertainty, while also finding comfort in life’s unpredictability. ‘BREEZER’ is about the ebb and flow of insecurity, doubt, and escapism, and my gradual acceptance of the cyclical nature of these feelings.”
You can watch the video for "BREEZER" below. Lost on You is due out March 27 on Hopeless Records, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Tigers Jaw, check out the band's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the video and include March 30 at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA.
