You can call it alternative rock, pop punk, new wave, power pop or garage rock, and that’s all true, without Brenyama‘s music really fitting into any of these boxes. We’re talking about the Phoenix, Arizona-based band of Richard and Maki Brenyama (on guitar and keyboard respectively; they share vocal duties), who – together with Kevin Cramsey (guitar), Phil Cowan (bass) and Alex Ridgeway (drums) – have launched two new songs into the world. Catchy A-side Somebody (Just Like You) is the radio-ready hit here, mainly thanks to the sing-along harmonies and cool bass break, but flipside Above the Water is hardly inferior.
Somebody (Just Like You), produced & arranged by Brenyama with Mike Bolenbach & Kolby Peoples, is out now digitally (self-released).
