Pre-order New album "Friend Rock" out April 7

Wisconsin's off-kilter rock trio NEWSKI enlists a friend/musical influence on every track for their new LP Friend Rock. From veterans like Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), Brian Vander Ark (the Verve Pipe), Ryan Miller (Guster), Miles Nielsen, and Scott Terry (Red Wanting Blue) to overseas acts like H Burns (France), The Secret Beach (Canada), and The Shabs (South Africa), NEWSKI compiles an internationally collaborative album from his own tiny house in Wisconsin.

New single w/ The Verve Pipe 's Brian Vander Ark + NEWSKI

While the post-pandemic era has long been marked by interesting musical collaborations, few have been the result of two artists hitting it off during a podcast and moving from one recording booth to another. Such is the case of musician, artist, and podcaster Brett Newski—who now records just under the name Newski—and The Verve Pipe’s Brian Van Der Ark, who first connected on Newski’s podcast Dirt From the Road before recognizing that their chemistry wasn’t limited to banter.
