SONG: "Circle Vista Blues"
ARTIST: Joey Briggs
ALBUM: self-released Bandcamp single
YEAR: 2017
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Los Angeles, California
YEARS ACTIVE: 2001 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Circle Vista Blues" appears to be a song about fucking up so bad in a relationship that you know you have no shot at a second chance. The vocalist understands he screwed up and he fully takes the blame, but he also knows there's no chance to win her back.

MY THOUGHTS ON JOEY BRIGGS:
Los Angeles' own Joey Briggs is most well known as the frontman for the punk band The Briggs. He got his start on the music scene back in 2001. With his band The Briggs, he has released four full length studio albums as well as three EP's. The most recent The Briggs release was a self-titled EP in 2015. The Briggs also released a live DVD in 2022 called "Gridlocked: On Tour With The Briggs. Joey Briggs released his first solo material in 2010, an EP titled "Politics, Touring And Self-Loathing". He dropped his first solo full length album in 2011 called "The Traveling Salesman, Pariah, Me". The track on that album called "Suburban Kid" is one of my all time favorite songs to date! I love that tune! Joey Briggs released another solo EP in 2013 called "Joey Briggs" and his most recent release was a full length album called "Disconnected" which dropped in 2022. The Briggs had a hardcore punk/Celtic punk vibe about them while Joey's solo stuff is mostly acoustic in style. Joey Briggs has also been fronting a hardcore punk band called Vintage War since 2022. I'm not quite sure what Joey's main focus is at this point because, while The Briggs have played shows recently, they haven't dropped new material since 2015 so perhaps this new band Vintage War is what is on his front burner at the moment. Either way, I enjoy all of Joey Briggs' projects. Also check out his Bandcamp page cuz he's released a slew of stand alone singles on there.
