Manic Panic: There's New Disco Punk From Broken Baby

[Cover photo credit to Eric Cacciopo] Los Angeles Rock 'n Roll duo Broken Baby, made up of Alex Dezen and Amber Bollinger, have released a new single and video for “Manic Panic”. The music video is very much of COVID and protest times, featuring clips from dedicated fans and the band lip synching from respective quarantine locations. The song was written before the murder of George Floyd and subsequent protests against police brutality and systemic racism, but the lyrics seem particularly relevant. Bollinger says: “It was always a protest song. Music these days has to do more than make you move, you know? It has to raise the alarm bell. This is a song about doing just that.” The single has been released by the band's own Poor Man Records imprint, a label shared by alternative groups including Tummyache, Human Barbie, The Eyyes and Pure Adult. The band has been releasing “Live-ish from Quarantine'' performance videos of select songs via various social media platforms, also, featuring socially distanced, digital appearances by touring band members Adam Popick on bass and Brian Griffin. Fans can hear new single “Manic Panic” *liveish* on July 29 via the band’s next IGTV stream session.
