Nashville indie-rock trio The Lonely Biscuits will release The San Francisco EP on September 22 via Most Lonely Records. The EP features three new songs and a cover of Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville classic "Never Said." Glide Magazine premiered the video for the EP's lead single "Talk About." To create the video, the band asked their fans to submit their own art, which they turned into a stop-motion video reminiscent of a vintage 90's Nickelodeon commercial.

"Talk About" has garnered over 400,000 streams on Spotify. The song is "light-hearted and poppy," says Glide, and "brings to mind a time when the music you heard on the radio could be fun and interesting without feeling manufactured."
"The song is about being really into someone and waiting impatiently for some signs that the feeling is mutual," reflects Lonely Biscuits singer/guitarist Grady Wenwrich. "It paints a picture of that phase in a budding relationship when one gets slightly insecure, maybe even slightly creepy as they to wait to see if it's all gonna work out. 'Talk About' is a good taste of what our EP and debut album are going to sound like. We love all kinds of music, but the rock that we grew up listening to in the 90's is what we always come crawling back to, so that definitely shows in the new tune."
The Lonely Biscuits formed in August 2011 at Belmont University, where Wenrich and Sam Gidley were roommates. Bassist Nick Byrd lived on the same floor and joined the band in January 2012. The Lonely Biscuits first started gaining attention on college campuses around the country, while they were still students themselves. The last four years the band has been headlining small clubs across the U.S. and opening for other national touring acts. The Lonely Biscuits have played on numerous festival stages such as Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Hangout Fest, Austin City Limits, LouFest and South by Southwest. In 2013, MTVu named The Lonely Biscuits "College Artist of the Year", and gave them the opportunity to play alongside many major acts at the MTVu Woodie Awards in Austin, Texas. After graduating in May of 2015, The Lonely Biscuits partnered with Nashville producer/engineer Paul Moak to record and release their new material. Their Come Around EP was released in November 2015.
The Lonely Biscuits will embark on a headlining tour on August 9, and will release their debut album later this year. Check out their Pledgemusic page, where fans can pledge to have the band mow their lawn, write a song about them, or take home Wenwrich's childhood amp.
