Musically, Briggs’ sound is a fusion of power-pop, hip-hop, soulful rock, and a slight hint of goth mixed in there somewhere.

Yes, fine fans of tunes and waves, this is a dream come true!
Interview: *Repeat Repeat talk about balancing their work and home life, their latest LP, Floral Canyon, and other band names.
