Brat Curse - Brat Curse

Brat Curse debuts their second full-length, and first for Anyway with the self-titled "Brat Curse." Formed in 2014 in Dayton, Ohio by Brian Baker, Justin Baker and Chris Mengerink, Brat Curse takes their cue from a long line of Ohio guitar bands such as Gaunt, Guided by Voices, Connections and Swearing at Motorists. The band members stick to a well worn Ohio pattern of playing in a variety of bands, as Brian plays in Dana (Heel Turn Records) & Sega Genocide (Just Because), his brother Justin also plays in WV White (Anyway), Chris plays in Good Shade (Dirtnap) and they welcome new comer Joe Camerlengo (Van Dale, Counterfeit Madison, Blanket Boys). The sound of Brat Curse fondly recalls the snotty spark of Guant without the late great Jerry Wick's assholish-ness, as well as Jawbreaker and other fondly remembered bands that like guitars. The band will tour extensively in the second half of 2019.
