Mikey Erg

You could probably fill an entire festival line-up with all the bands Mikey Erg has been in or is still a part of. Best known as the drummer and principal songwriter of the beloved Ergs!, other bands he played in include The Dopamines, Star Fucking Hipsters, Dirt Bike Annie, Slow Death, Pale Angels and more recently, Worriers. But lately, he has also been focusing on his solo career. Following up his second solo album Waxbuilt Castles, here's a great 4-song EP. And like the bands he has been in, his solo releases are equally diverse. Whereas Waxbuilt Castles was more Ergs version of Paul McCartneys first record, this new 7" is chock-full of classic pop punk (albeit still including a Beatles cover for good measure).
