Broadside has been teasing us with pieces of Blissed Out for months and now that the full EP is here, it feels like the complete picture finally arrived. It is emotional. It is catchy.

 It is honest in that way Broadside fans love.

They kicked things off back in April with “I Think They Know,” a song that puts every overthinker right in their feelings. Lyrics like “I don’t belong here, everyone’s starin I swear” hits like that moment when your brain is doing way too much and you swear everyone can see it. If you have ever spiraled in public, welcome to the club.

Then there was “Warning Signs,” which is honestly one of the most fun tracks they have put out in a minute. It is dance rock with an edge and the lyrics hit way harder than you expect. “The same high that gets me off will probably put me in my grave” is one of those lines fans will be yelling live with too much passion. We have all been there. No judgment.

Last month they gave us “Someone You Need,” which slows things down and gets a little more vulnerable. If you have ever wished you could be the right person for someone and knew you were not, this one is going to take you out in the best way.

The title track “Blissed Out” ties it all together. With lines like “A stranger in the mirror didn’t come with some integrity” and “Shit gets overwhelming baby,” Broadside leans into real life exhaustion and still makes it feel comforting. It is relatable without trying too hard and feels like the emotional core of the EP.

Blissed Out is a short project, but it says a lot without overthinking it.

It feels made for fans who want honesty, big feelings, and songs that will hit different live.

Broadside keeps leveling up and this EP is another reminder of why so many of us connect with them.
