Burp. have released their new EP, Video Games & Cartoons, that hones an array of influences from across Punk and Midwest Emo. The band have crafted an unerringly honest collection; frank and immersive whilst carrying an indelibly infectious pop spine. Video Games & Cartoons is a nostalgic and honest collection, each song a relatable insight into the band’s growth, both sonically and personally, whilst casting their frank, and at times humorous, lenses on the world around them.

“Video Games & Cartoons is an EP that came together immediately after the mixing process of our last record, Acid Reflux. We were about a quarter of the way through recording what we thought we be another album when we got talking to Chris Freeman of Hot Mulligan. He enjoyed the demo of “ELW” we sent and said he’d be like to our whole project. At that time we had about 15 songs written and all in various stages of the recording process. We decided to narrow those down to the five songs we thought were the most fleshed out in terms of song writing, but also that showed the most versatility in style. We really enjoy making songs that shouldn’t work together but somehow do, and this EP, in our opinion, is a great example of that. We ended up having an EP that consists of punk, emo, pop, acoustic, and grunge mixed by a musician from one of our favorite bands & that’s something we’re beyond excited about.” (vocalist Leo Folan)
