Brooklyn quartet Sharkswimmer are joined by Thursday frontman Geoff Rickley for the music video for “Demolition of a Childhood Home.” The track features prominently on the band’s recently released Serenity, out now on Really Rad Records.
Of his featured appearance, Rickley says:
“I love the new Sharkswimmer album. When Justin asked me to jump on a song, I heard where I would fit on this one immediately. A small part but vital, my favorite kind of guest spot. It turned out great, and I never liked the way I sounded in features. The fact that Johnny Komar made such a gorgeous little video to go with it has just completed the circle. The band rules. People need to take note.”
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
