Seattle-based band The Scoffs proudly present their latest single, “Miss USA,” a powerful track that delves deep into the band’s ’77 punk influences and power-pop hooks. Described as a breakup letter of sorts, “Miss USA” tackles the complex emotions of former reverence and growing disillusionment with the Statue of Liberty and the nation she represents.

The bands latest EP, Factories in Heaven was released on June 14th on Short Fuse Records and is available on Apple Music Spotify and Bandcamp.

“Miss USA” arrives at a particularly poignant moment in U.S. politics, reflecting the post-pandemic social upheaval, the intensity of an election year, and political divides as wide as the country has ever seen. The song’s ability to mirror the emotional and social landscape of the nation adds a layer of depth and relevance that resonates with listeners.

A standout lyric from the track, “You used to stand for something, now you only stand around,” encapsulates the sentiment of disillusionment and frustration that permeates the song. The Scoffs’ goal with “Miss USA,” and the other tracks on their newly released EP “Factories in Heaven,” is to blend a strong message with a sense of melody and singability. The band has crafted these songs to be memorable and engaging, ensuring that listeners can connect with the music on multiple levels.

“Miss USA” and the full EP “Factories in Heaven” are now available on all streaming platforms. The Scoffs hope that listeners find “Miss USA” not only enjoyable but also impactful, resonating long after the final note.

As the country continues to navigate turbulent times, “Miss USA” serves as a poignant reminder of the power of music to reflect and influence the social and political landscape. The Scoffs have once again demonstrated their ability to create music that is both thought-provoking and engaging.
