    Simple Creatures have released the new song “Special.”

    (June 13, 2019) – Los Angeles, CA – Simple Creatures, comprised of long-time friends Mark Hoppus (blink-182) and Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low), release a new track, “Special” today. The first offering from EP2 (due out later this year) is available to download via the following link: https://simplecreatures.lnk.to/SpecialPR and was produced by Zakk Cervini.
    The band will make their highly anticipated festival debut this Saturday, headlining the “Avalanche” stage at Download Festival in the U.K. after playing a few intimate club shows earlier this year in a few select cities across the U.S. and in London.

    Mark and Alex released their debut EP, “Strange Love” in March. You can listen to the EP via the following link: https://SimpleCreatures.lnk.to/StrangeLovePR

    Simple Creatures evolved from a long-standing friendship and a musical kinship. Hoppus and Gaskarth took a beat from their individual bands to have some fun in the studio, and came away with a new band with a new sound.

    “On paper, this collaboration between two of pop-punk’s most recognizable and commercially powerful songwriters should have proved entirely predictable – a crush of pit-friendly anthems and surging riffola. Except their latest out is anything but. The first single, ‘Drug’… an explosive rush of heavy-hearted pop that clatters and crackles with programmed drum breaks, scuzzy guitars and skittering melodies, with both singers sharing vocal duties,’ wrote Kerrang.

    This is honestly exactly what I wanted this project to sound like. Nothing on the first EP caught me quite like this song. Keep 'em coming boys!

    I couldn't get into that EP if my life depended on it. Same goes for this song to, unfortunately.
