Rise Records just signed an iconic act, Niis (pronounced “Nice”), and this Los Angeles punk-rock quartet is ready to stomp into the scene and shake it up with their euphoric guitar licks and soaring choruses. The group just revealed their new track “Earthquakes,” and it’s the sultry rock offering we needed.
Vocalist Mimi Doe said of the single and their signing, “It’s a song about growing through pain and heartbreak. Coming to terms with lost love and the profound scars it can leave on your heart. In a way, it’s a love letter to heartbreak itself. Working with Rise has been a dream. They truly are a label who have cultivated such an amazing environment for us to thrive and experiment.”
The new song is just a taste of what’s to come, as it’s set to appear on their forthcoming EP Play Niis, due out on October 23.
Doe shared of their forthcoming EP, “Picture this, you’ve just left the movies at the mall, your mom is calling you on your brand new flip phone. You ignore it and walk into the nearest hot topic. A song you haven’t heard before is playing on the speakers. They don’t have the cd you wanted and he hasn’t texted you back, so you go home, flip on the tube, Buffy’s on and she’s listening to that same song. That’s the vibe we’re going for here with Play Niis.”
