BRKN LOVE “Like A Drug”(NEW MUSIC ALERT)

Toronto-based alt-rock band BRKN LOVE have released a new single, titled “Like A Drug”. The track arrives with an accompanying music video featuring Royal Thunder frontwoman Mlny Parsonz – watch it Below.

BRKN LOVE songwriter and frontman Justin Benlolo says, “I became infatuated with 70’s disco and funk over the last year, I really loved that a lot of those influences were showing up in modern music again. In this song, we decided to embody the groove of those timeless classics whilst mixing in our own blend of dark and moody riff-rock. In a sense, this is a rock and roll party song.

Lyrically, it’s the story of star-crossed lovers who are tied up in a toxic relationship. It’s become a “one-sided” relationship, yet this person still justifies their love while being an absolute piece of garbage. As I’ve grown older, I’ve seen this happen too many times and decided it would be an interesting thing to touch on. I think a lot of people could relate to this and are probably in that situation right now. I tried to think of what the “bad guy” might be thinking in this context and what motivates them. All in all, while the lyrics may be serious,  I hope this song makes you get up and move!

We also shot a video in between a few shows last Fall – our most silly and fun yet! Ultimately, we decided that this song and its up-beat feel, needed a cheeky video to accompany the vibe. Our friend, Mlny Parsonz (Royal Thunder), was cool enough to come down to the shoot and play a part in this as well. I’m very excited for everyone to hear this thing and I hope you’ll be ready for what we got coming next. Thank you.”
