Bria turns music struggles into a “Misery Map”

 

The music industry may be a tough journey for artists riddled with rejection, disappointment, and betrayal. Bria’s new release, “Misery Map,” immediately delves into that reality, turning the frustrations of the grind into something familiar and encouraging.

Portland, Oregon-based high-energy rock ensemble led by vocalist and bassist Angelo Bria presents an artist-focused take on a song about finding a way through the toughest circumstances. “Misery Map” does not show the struggle as something that disappears, but rather as the idea of walking through the darkness and finding the route toward the floodlights.

The message lends the tune a strong sense of purpose. It is intended for artists who know how hard it is to keep going when opportunities don’t come, and the road ahead is uncertain. “Misery Map” is a musical companion for anyone stuck somewhere between aspiration and the realities of the music business.

The music also marks a brand-new and exciting era for Bria. The song is linked to the band’s upcoming five-song EP, with the title track “Optimus Masochist”
