Bronnie Hughes - EP3!

Local Wirral, punk rock, female musician Bronnie Hughes has released a new EP ‘Erase Me’. This is Bronnie’s 3rd debut EP, a 4 track album that has a bit of everything for all her fans. Tracks that are faster and high in beat such as 'Total Outcasts' and 'Fake it', to a slightly slower more mellow song such as 'Erase Me', landing 'Strange Tattoo' as a healthy in between. Rocking up in the charts at overall #2 for the EP in the UK, Bronnie has nothing but overwhelming love for her devoted fans. 

'Total Outcasts', a song that all the “geeks, freaks” and “kids in the dark” should listen to. It instantly gives a nostalgic feel to Bronnie’s other 2 EPs where her genre really shines through. It is a highly rhythmic song, that “every single freaking night” since it has been out, its been played. It is one of those songs that the listener just can’t help but dance to, because this song has a rather heavy drum backing, paired with a strong sense of electric guitar and something especially likable about this song is its build up in the introduction. People may “think we are strange” for falling in love with this EP but it is a highly enjoyable album that makes the audience want to dance. “You think we’re lame” but “we know we could runaway” from other people’s opinions because as a fandom we have an inspirational woman leading us. 

'Strange Tattoo', which is not as strange as some may assume is a healthy in between song to listen to. It is not too fast like Total Outcasts is, but it is also not as slow as the song after it called Erase Me. “After hours” of listening to the song repeatedly “I can never get enough” of it. Overall this song is a vastly catchy, dancey song with a fairly high rhythmic feel and a highly enjoyable key change in the final quatre of the song, which keeps the audiences attention as it gives them something new to listen to.

'Erase Me'. This song is the slowest song on the EP, with it still having the element of punk rock in it. This song however has more of a rockesque feel to it, and “I know it’s time” to admit that this is an extremely catchy, and a more emotional song on the album. “Please erase” the fact that this song has only been in the hands of the fans for 2 days, and it is already one of the fan favourites. Additional to the fact this song is slow, it is also 1 of 2 songs that is on this album, that is explicit. 

Finally, 'Fake It'. This song has “changed the attitude of the world” with its underlining rhythmic beat and its explicit words. Not only is it the other explicit song on the album, this song is also the only other song on the album to switch key just before the final chorus is sung. Which again, like Strange Tattoo makes it largely enjoyable to listen to because it keeps the audience drawn into the end of the song. It’s a song that the audience can’t help but dance to in some way, and many of her fans feel like “she’s a rebel now” after releasing this EP, because it is by far a fan favourite.

One last thing to note about this EP is it’s cover art. Now, it is no secret to fans of Bronnie especially not hardcore fans of Bronnie who have been here since day one, that her album covers are made by her. This EP cover like her last, was drawn up by her giving it a more personal edge to it. It is also a more girly take to the cover, which is unlike her previous two, with the light pink coloured titles to help the drawing stand out a bit, and also to add a bit of colour to the sleeve. Moreover, the hypnotic pattern surrounding the drawing of the alienesque girl, is something that draws the audience in because it stands out from other covers, especially with the black and white elements.
