Barney Cortez (Minka, Nicos Gun, Rich Mystics), a.k.a. BARNES as a solo entity, recently put forth a new single. “Better Leather” occupies a loose, pop-rock melody, while revealing a contrasting narrative of poor self-image and confidence. Set on a tennis court, its video, which was co-directed by John Welsh, projects those insecurities, created by comparison in caricature form. BARNES will be taking the stage at South Philly’s Boot & Saddle on Thursday, December 7 with Goodnight Lights and QTY.
