Scruffpuppie drops 'assignment song'

Joining Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records, Scruffpuppie - aka JJ Shurbet - has dropped vibrant new pop-punk track ‘assignment song’.

Released a year since they got clean of hard drugs, JJ explains, “It delves into some experiences that were shared with me while I was in treatment, and talks a lot about how these experiences have been a fuel to the fire of our using, but how when we’re together, we are whole, and safe. That it’s okay for us to ask for help and that we’re never alone, even in our darkest moments.”

“JJ’s writing is both referential of all the emo music I love, and yet, entirely new,” Phoebe adds. “I recognize the world I know in it, but it’s off-center. It’s like she’s filtering everything through raw emotion, throwing some distortion on it all, and handing it back to us so we can feel something for a second.”
