The Plot Thickens With JAYME & DECLAN From BROOKLYN COMIC

The Plot Thickens With JAYME & DECLAN From BROOKLYN COMIC

Author: HEAVY Magazine April 15, 2025 Duration: 22:21
Interview by Jack Harlen
Sydney rock outfit Brooklyn Comic have built a steady name for themselves based on honest songwriting and powerful live performances.
The band’s music blends emo, hardcore, indie and alternative rock, tackling themes such as loss, self-doubt, heartache and personal growth. As proud allies of the LGBTQIA+ community, Brooklyn Comic is also committed to fostering inclusivity and acceptance, both in the music industry and in the wider world.
After giving fans a taste of what they have to offer through previous singles, Brooklyn Comic are now preparing to launch their debut full-length album Define Happiness, which is set for a slow waterfall release in 2025. But first the band are planning to drip feed content, with the recently released single Plot Heavy a tasty morsel of what is to come.
HEAVY's newest member, intern Jack Harlen, spent some time with vocalist Jayme Weston and guitarist Declan Rivers from Brooklyn Comic to get the rundown.
We start by asking about the early reception for the single.
"Pretty amazing," Jayme beamed. "I think it's done better than anything else we've released thus far. We put a lot of work and a lot of effort into these songs that are coming out this year, so it's good to see that reception come back."
In the full interview, the boys spoke about the story behind Plot Heavy, the music video and what it is about, where the song sits in the overall scheme of the album, what themes run through Define Happiness, upcoming shows and more.
