Vagabond Americana. Post-punk introspection. A punk rocker with the heart of a painter 

 Brick is available for interviews, acoustic sessions.

Brick Briscoe has made a life of figuring out how to do what he needs to do.  Writing songs and performing are at the top of that list.  Rooted in the US Midwest, but spiritually tied to New York City, France and the UK, Indiana composer, film maker and producer Brick creates songs that paint a picture of restlessness and wonder, sprinkled liberally with a well matured angst. He’s a wanderer both physically and artistically. You’ll find him just as much obsessed with the open road as trying to get you into the metaphorical bed. The songs move between punk rock edge and a curious free form adventure, with Brick’s buzzsaw and angular guitar riffs cutting a trail for his lyrics to find an unsettling safe house.

 Much of Brick’s 2018 release, ‘IV’ was recorded and mixed while Brick was undergoing chemotherapy, with sessions happening in a hospital setting. He’s danced with illness again more recently, but that lived-in urgency continues to show up in his songs: human, fearless, and unfiltered in the best way.

 “All is a go for the release of ‘Found Footage’ on Friday 6^th March despite some crazy events in my life and the world in general. It's been a crazy time to be alive”, Brick points out. “I think this is a really interesting LP for me.  It highlights my songwriting in a different way… this is a record that touches me deeply in a way I haven’t felt in a while about anything work related. It’s a cumulative thing I’m sure, but the songs resonate with me somewhat urgently”.

‘Found Footage’ will be exclusively on Bandcamp for a month or so before it goes out to any streaming services. “Like many of you, I count on sales of my music for income, and I know that as soon as it goes to the streamers, I have to be in your town, in front of you, to sell anything. I hate that, but this is where we are in 2026”. 

Brick Briscoe live shows channel the things he spits out from this journey.  Always intense and surprisingly sensitive, his shows go from a whisper to a howl from moment to moment. The live show is intense but surprisingly tender, built for listening rooms, seated venues, and intimate bar stages where the audience actually wants to lean in. Brick Briscoe is the rare kind of artist who can hold a room in total silence,it into a howl in the same song. He writes restless, image rich Americana that carries a punk spine and a songwriter’s emotional precision.

UK, Ireland and France live shows are planned. Watch this space.

Brick also produces and hosts a US public radio show called ‘The Song Show’.  It is where he shows his true passion for music and mines the deep history of song by relating common themes across genres and time periods in each episode.  His guests are the musicians and songwriters he comes across playing music, or in true old school fashion, picks up the phone and calls!

In addition, Brick produces television, commercials, and other film - based projects from his studio base, ‘La Cueva de la Araña’, in Petersburg, Indiana.

Brick Briscoe - selected discography.

My Favourite Los Angeles Restaurant (2020)

From Lucky Point To Pete Lachaise (2019): “Briscoe speaks and sings matter-of-fact truths, revealing “we all have to leave sometime” and that “fear and happiness are just a state of mind” (The Big Take-Over) 

IV (2018)

Songs To Yell To (2017): “a restless continuation of Briscoe’s knack for brash post-punk songs about sexuality and identity, citing influences from The Ramones, Buzzcocks, and the 70’s era CBGB club scene.” (On The Flipside Music)

Lovers and Other Amateurs (2015)

Travel & Leisure (2014): ““This soft-spoken yet hard-driven man still claims to be a fan first and foremost. Days of post-punk vinyl and the emerging indie film wave… The Beautiful South, Gang of Four, The Jam, and Stan Ridgway have left an indelible mark. Those passing by the studio will also hear Mahler, Monk and the Mekons”. (1061evansville.com)This soft-spoken yet hard-driven man still claims to be a fan first and foremost.
