We’re premiering a new song, called “Gravity,” off the upcoming full-length from The Mizzerables. According to singer/guitarist Joe Mizzi, this song in particular helped to spark the creation of the album. He explained, “It was the song that really inspired this whole record. It’s about stepping out from any sort of struggle, whether self-inflicted or not, and trying to see the good side. I went through a lot of that in the past few years, but I don’t like thinking of my problems as anything special. I think we all have stuff we’re dealing with and hopefully that makes the song relatable for others who might be going through some shit.”
The record, titled Whatever… This Sucks, was recorded by Dan Precision, (88 Fingers Louie) at his Bomb Shelter Studios. The recording spotlights the band’s songwriting, without sacrificing any of the urgency or rawness. When asked about their time in the studio, Mizzi said “Working with Dan was great. He’s just really talented all around. There are quite a few moments on this record that were really made by Dan, whether it was backing vocal touches or some adjustments here or there to a riff. All those little moments really made this thing what it is and we’re better off for it.”
While the band had initially planned on working with a record label, they ultimately chose to release the album themselves. After a series of delays, it became clear that self-releasing was the best option. “At the end of the day, we felt we were more passionate about getting this out into the world than the label was and that maybe we could do better on our own,” Mizzi said. They plan on releasing the record later this year, once they have a firm date as to when the vinyl will be ready.
In the meantime, their next show is this Thursday, June 6th at Liar’s Club, with JERK, Krayola and Milhouse. Check out the song “Gravity” below and stay tuned for future updates on The Mizzerables’ new album.
