I’m not really on here much, but in case anyone only sees my stuff here:
“As Deep As The Sea” is out on Bandcamp NOW! (and also streaming everywhere) Angsty pop-punk-adjacent rock; soundtrack to an existential crisis.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.
“Those power-hungry men will call you wimpy, weak, and woke…
But the humble, just, and merciful are the strongest that I know.”
Damn @flamygrant.bsky.social why you gotta be so *accurate* and *prescient* (oh right, she’s a fortune teller)
I am that one guy. 🫡
I remain in awe that anyone listens to my music, let alone cares enough to commit wanton acts of *journalism* about it. Huge thanks to Jeff for the many, many kind words here. Album is coming this year, for real this time 😅
LIVE 👏 TO 👏 SEE 👏 THEM 👏 DIE
“…oh, I guess I’m done tracking this song.”

This is entirely too real and relatable
These folks would HATE Jesus of Nazareth. Like “crucify him!” hate him.
It’s the first one on this EP I released after Christmas; the two kinda go together. bsky.app/profile/bret...
Haven’t watched the video yet, but - I like this idea so much I wrote a song about it (owing much to the writings of Rachel Held Evans on the topic)
This unlocked a long-forgotten memory 😮
“If it was the late 1990s, I could easily imagine Higgins releasing music on labels such as Jade Tree, Polyvinyl, or Deep Elm—and if any of those names ring familiar to you, you'll love The Great Homesickness.” (2/2)

“Higgins' solo project flies the flannel flag proudly, mixing catchy punk anthems with labyrinthian guitar lines.” (1/2)

Hi! I’m trying to get more active on here and would love to be added. Just put out my last release of 2024 today, if it helps categorize me: thegreathomesickness.bandcamp.com/album/questi...

👋 I’m Brett. I’m a software developer by day, and I like to make shouty pop-punk-ish music when I can carve out the time.
2024 has been my most productive year for my music to date, and I’m capping it off today with my latest release: thegreathomesickness.bandcamp.com/album/questi...
Bluesky wtf… ok trying again. If you like clickable/tappable links:
thegreathomesickness.bandcamp.com
Here’s a l’il playlist with other participating artists: bndcmpr.co/dd1d2249
I am truly the worst promoter of my music, but if you wanted to check it out today, any money coming in (plus some of my own, because I know my own sales history) will go to supporting a trans artist in need of medical support.

Not sure what I’m doing here yet but I guess “not nothing” is a starting point?
