Side Effect is a 4-piece pop-punk sensation based in Hollywood, California. Their newest EP “Another Last Goodbye”, co-produced by Marko DeSantis of Sugarcult and Jokull Jonsson of Evening Guests, released March 28th 2014. With its sassy attitude and raw rock flavor, the EP is a collection of messages that got inspired by a real life story. The story, as so many others before, is about a girl in love and a guy who, well, was not. The EP takes us on the journey from the very first time they met (“[Don’t Act Like You Don’t Know That This Is] About You”; “Get It Right”), throughout the relationship (“Jade Green Eyes”; “I Wish You Were Here”), to it’s very end (“92 Yesterdays”). 　　The last track on the record, “Ships In A Bottle” is a rock cover of original singer/songwriter ballad, written and performed by popular artist, songwriter and producer Butch Walker. It carries a grain of disappointment, desperation and anger. “It’s funny how well it worked with the rest of the EP, it seems like it could have been written about that relationship” – said Kapri, lead vocalist – “And in the end I am glad all of this happened, otherwise the EP wouldn’t be ready. This shows how bad experiences can become really important milestones of your life.” 　　 　　The current lineup includes Kapri, guitarist Hisako Ozawa, Jim Shaw on the bass and John McLucas on the drums. Marko DeSantis has contributed to the arrangement and production efforts of “Another Last Goodbye” EP. As he describes the EP, it is “the new 21st Century twenty-something spin on rock music the way it was always intended to be: loud, fast, vulnerable and authentic-to-the-core.”
