Immersing us with luscious, textured guitars, Brandon Richie opens his single My Movie with atmospheric vocals singing before exploding into a vibrant pop punk meets alternative rock frequency.
We are immediately hypnotized by the intricacy and transformative nature of the competition which seamlessly switches between melodic and cinematic grunge and thrashing punk energy.
The opening lyrics set the tone of the story with, “I don’t think I wana wait, it seems like everyone but me, and now I wake up every day, like I’m starving for the soulless fame…” before we experience the insight that Brandon Richie and his band share with us with regards to fame and the cosmic motion picture that is life. We love how he asks Travis Barker to make him a star and his nuanced commentary on the human condition, celebrity and manifesting the future that he deserves.
Brandon Richie hails from the Philly and Orlando punk scenes and creates music that makes you want, and need, to move! Richie has spent the past several years writing, playing, and touring independently.
We appreciate his brand of party punk and upbeat energy with grit. He takes influence from bands like Bomb The Music Industry and NOFX, although it is clear that he is creating a universe of his own.
My Movie has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we stream Brandon Richie‘s wider discography including Baby Fuel and If There’s A God.
