Have we’ve got a double feature for you, 18-year old Utah musician Sammy Brue’s released Teenage Mayhem as well as Crash Test Kid from his forthcoming sophomore album of the same name via New West Records.
While dropping two videos may seem daunting for Sammy Brue, it emphasizes a duality of creativity.
The raucous and rollicking Teenage Mayhem along with the pensive melancholia of Crash Test Kid.
Importantly, it’s the first music to be released from the already critically lauded young artist’s upcoming sophomore album.
Says Brue, “‘Crash Test Kid’ and ‘Teenage Mayhem’ go together so well because they’re the polar opposite emotion. ‘Crash Test Kid’ is more me pondering over the shit we’re going through in the world, and how we deal with it, and ‘Teenage Mayhem’ is my outburst – an attempt to bring the spotlight to the young kids. To say: “Hey, we’re here too, and we’re going through all the same negative stuff as everyone else.” Now more than ever. Too much has been the same for so many years, and I know a change is coming. I am ready to help lead the charge.” ”.
