“Have a Thing, Miss Your Moment, Wait for the Revival”

Blends 60’s Bob Dylan & 90’s grunge
+ Tours USA, South Africa, Europe
LP OUT May 1
Folk-Grunge. Alt-country. Garage Americana. Whatever you call it, BRETT NEWSKI has carved his own lane at the crossroads of scrappy rock n roll, freak folk and comedic storytelling. Out May 1, 2026, Newski returns with a new album (and companion pocket book) Have a Thing, Miss Your Moment, Wait for the Revival, arriving via Nomad Union.
“Recording to tape is the only way to keep music purely human,” says Newski. “You can’t fake a tape recording. Currently, AI has no way to get onto analog tape.
The book/music will NOT be on Amazon. The title track will NOT be on any streaming. Pre-order: www.brettnewski.com/merch
Have a Thing blends 60’s era Bob Dylan's freewheeling lyricism with the crunch, grit, and melodic bite of 90s alternative rock, showcasing NEWSKI's production style of a lost Velvet Underground tape. “In Love With Everything Except People” features Lou Reed’s band leader, Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies, Violent Femmes) on piano.
Recorded straight to cassette in Milwaukee, WI, the project leans into the imperfections that make analog charm so enduring.
Pre-order LP, CD, digital here. (First 30 copies are one-of-a-kind hand-painted vinyl and CD’s available while supplies last)
NEW BOOK! Pre-order the album’s companion pocket BOOK, or “FIELD GUIDE”, if you will, featuring journals, drawings, lyrics, and road pics from 2023-24 when Have a Thing was being written. (Only 350 copies, first 50 copies are signed).
Alongside his band BRETT NEWSKI & the Bad Inventions, BRETT NEWSKI has been regarded as one of the most relentlessly touring DIY artists of the decade. He’s spent a decade spent touring the backroads and underground venues of Europe, South Africa, North America, and even less-trodden circuits like Vietnam, Japan, Iceland.
