Athens, GA post punk/art punk six-piede Garage of Broken Dreams have aired their new single “Some Kinda Joke” alongside an accompanying music video.
The song is taken from their double album ‘The Hard Way‘, out today (Dec 30). Get your copy here.
Garage of Broken Dreams, feature members of Dark Meat, Mindbrains, McQQeen, Gush, Weaponized Flesh, and a myriad of other bands. With The Hard Way, the band introduces 80s new wave into their repertoire. The collection was improvised across “three sleepless days in a remote hunting lodge in rural Georgia, and maddeningly tweaked for a year thereafter.”
The video for Some Kinda Joke takes a postmodernist approach similar to the videos produced by Devo in the late 1970s-early 80s: melding 20th century stock footage visions of the future, the counterculture, and the uncouth breeding ground for today’s bleak predicament. The apocalypse has been with us a very long time. It fits well with the retro-futurism of the band’s sound.
