This Friday, April 24th will release her new album “This One’s For You”

Grounded in honky-tonk and classic country forms, “This One’s For You” has Brooke pushing back against the fleeting & shallow music industry expectations and does so with her own signature wit and grit.

It stands apart with sharp, intelligent writing and weaves together vivid, character-driven storytelling rooted in family, resilience, and loss.

“TOFY” captures Brooke’s distinct sonic identity and timeless voice. Inspired by the honest and often humorous work of John Prine, Shel Silverstein and Roger Miller - artists who didn’t try to sound like anything except alive - her songs follow her life-long arc, her humor, her vulnerability and hope.

Transparent blue vinyl copies are available for preorder now and we will start shipping on release day.

Thank you to for sending us this care package a few weeks ago. It included a ton of awesome stickers, a copy of the set list from when played in CA last month and also this great rendition of our logo.

I love Alex’s depictions of classic album covers and I would like to do a run of stickers of the Twisted Teens design he made. He sent us a few dozen of them and we have been been putting one each in wholesale orders we receive but if you would like us to make a run of them or even tshirts please let us know in the comments and we will see if we can make it happen

The follow up to their much acclaimed Self Titled album, the Twisted Teens are back with 12 more dulcet tunes.

“Compared to the debut, Blame the Clown feels more focused in how it balances its influences…
