Taking Control With BROOKLYN COMIC

Interview by Kris Peters
Emerging Woolongong outfit Brooklyn Comic have an interesting take
on music, combining the sounds of emo with hardcore laced with rock
sensibilities.
It is a unification that, on paper, should not work but somehow
Brooklyn Comic have struck that delicate balance between two worlds
and harnessed that energy into their music which is a reflection of
the world they live and see around them.
The band's most recent single Charlie's Song details the
repercussions addiction has in relationships and continues their
common thread of exploring societal issues and mental health.
HEAVY sat down with Jayme, Steve and Emerson to talk more.
"The band has been around for just over a year," Jayme informed us.
"I started writing music pretty heavily during the second lockdown,
just as a means of aiding my mental despair. Basically, we have one
mission statement and that's to raise awareness for mental health.
And I like to scream into a microphone (laughs) and that kind of
helps."
In the full interview, Brooklyn Comic tell us more about Charlie's
Song, what they were going for musically with it, what the song is
about and how it addresses modern problems, the film clip and what
message they hope we take out of it, future music, upcoming shows
and more.
