Ohio based trio Plaid Brixx have been quite busy! They are currently in the studio working on their new album.I am really excited to hear the new music since their punk infused rock is absolutely addictive. I love their sound and style and can’t wait for more. Check out the video for the title track of their Chemistry EP.

The new EP, Chemistry, which was co-produced by lead singer Chris Duggan and producer Richard Barone. In case you missed it before, check out their video for their song, Hipster Queen:

The track is also from their EP, Chemistry,which was released on July 8th. The song is infectiously catchy and I love it! The video is fun and flirty and will have you wanting to watch it over and over. Plaid Brixx bring the playfulness back to music as the create a youthful spirited vibe that will have you hooked.

You can also check out Plaid Brixx on December 19th as they will be performing at The Agora in Cleveland, Ohio. Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news.
