Hot Mulligan released a new song and music video for ‘End Eric Sparrow and the Life of Him.’ Renowned for their cathartic lyrics and infectious riffs, this new track gives their rapidly growing fan base a nostalgic, post-emo anthem to blast through their speakers.
Lead singer Tades Sanville explains his thoughts on the song below: “Eric Sparrow beat everyone’s ass in Tony Hawk, and this is what he has wrought. I am not a frontman but have been shoehorned into that role. Interviews where they ask the same questions over and over, strangers running up and touching me at shows, and tons of people dissecting everything they hear me say. Trading tight-knit local scenes for plastic and profiteers. I think a lot of the time that it would be better if my body stayed and didn’t think about it and enjoyed the limelight. Then the part that thinks and gets sad can just disappear. But then who can write?”
This release arrives just before the band returns to Europe, kicking off their summer festival run with select headlining dates in Germany, France, and the UK. Following their journey overseas, they will return to the US in August to headline festivals including The Loneliest Place on Earth, Ohio Is for Lovers, and Riot Fest.
