Pop Punk Duo Girlfriends Release “High Again” Music Video
Band Smokes Their Way Into Another Realm In A “Pineapple Express” AdventureNew Album (E)Motion Sickness Out June 17th Via Big Noise
Wednesday, April 20th - Today, pop punk duo girlfriends (Travis Mills + Nick Gross) release the music video for their song “High Again,” a recent single from their new album (e)motion sickness (out June 17th via Big Noise).
Dropping in on a celebrity-filled smoke sesh, the duo find themselves on a surreal, bizarre journey that can only be described as a cinematic blend halfway between “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and “Pineapple Express.” Directed by Jordan Wozy (Machine Gun Kelly, Bacardi, & Adidas), the video is a fun, strange trip, allowing Travis and Nick to transcend to their higher selves.

“It’s about finding yourself in a world of contradictions” Travis Mills says about the song, “people telling you what to believe and how to behave and above all - being yourself and the freedom it allows you.”
(e)motion sickness is the highly anticipated follow-up to girlfriends self-titled debut, which was produced by John Feldmann (5 Seconds Of Summer, blink-182, The Used), and included standout tracks like “California,” “Where Were You” (featuring Travis Barker), and “Jessica.”
Girlfriends conjure songs that are once pleasingly familiar, warmly unique and passionately vulnerable and (e)motion sickness is just that with singles like “Toaster For A Swim,” “Pretty Mouth,” “Missing You” and “High Again.
Praised by Alternative Press, SPIN Magazine, Loudwire and more, girlfriends make music both timely and timeless, while providing a fresh twist to the caffeinated pop-punk they grew up on.
In concert, the duo are a live force to be reckoned with. With their energy being magnified tenfold live, girlfriends have sold out venues like The Roxy in Los Angeles and and recently shared the stage with Bad Suns at The Fonda and The Observatory, Santa Ana. Stay tuned for additional tour dates into 2022.
ABOUT GIRLFRIENDS:
As the exceedingly prolific pair known as girlfriends, Travis Mills and Nick Gross conjure songs that are at once pleasingly familiar and warmly unique. In less than three years, the duo created not one but two urgent, inspired, and original albums. They’ve already sold out the Roxy in LA; opened for Machine Gun Kelly; toured with Mod Sun and Grayscale; and played a festival with Twenty One Pilots. SPIN called girlfriends’ self-titled debut “polished, impassioned, and commanding,” comparing their cross-genre appeal to MGK and Trippie Redd. Fans streamed the first album more than 30 million times on Spotify alone, driven by songs like “California,” “Where Were You” (ft. Travis Barker), and “Jessica.” Before girlfriends formed, neither Travis nor Nick were strangers to creativity or community. The brash rap songs Travis posted on MySpace as T. Mills led to a major label deal, Warped Tour, and diehard fans. He later became a host for Apple Music 1. Nick played in a major label rock band before founding Gross Labs. Both guys are equally enthusiastic about having another go at the style of caffeinated pop-punk that first shaped them. The group’s music is a vehicle for self-expression and catharsis, a means to process grief, uncertainty, and renewed vigor for life destined to connect with others who struggle. That’s something girlfriends will never take for granted.
