Maungaturoto-based indie/alternative duo The Advocators waste no time following up with their second single, Bad Girls from their forthcoming debut album Songs from an Endless Night, due out on the 1st of March 2024.

Listen Here

Bad Girls takes listeners to a crowded bar on a Friday evening. A woman with long dark hair and a short skirt slips through the door and threads her way up to the bar. A musk of cheap perfume, cigarettes and bad intentions hangs in the air. She wants to forget herself and go where the evening takes her.

The music starts - it’s a jangly guitar, fingerpicked, a jaunty melodica, and a raucous violin. They’re playing a bar-room Irish-Americana ballad that sounds like it was written to be screamed across deck by salt-beaten scoundrels on high seas. It’s light-hearted, it’s breezy, and the singer declares ‘Bad girls ain’t no good/good girls ain’t no fun’.

The night may still be young but it ain't headed anywhere near a place that your mother would approve of.

The Advocators are a Maungaturoto-based duo made up of Leroy Brown (guitar and vocals) and Mark Bruce (guitar). The songs on their debut album Songs from an Endless Night cover themes of unrequited love, contempt, disillusionment and redemption. The album was recorded with the help of William Jackson (bass, drums and producer) and Anita Clark (violin and vocals).
