NIIS announce new EP ‘Play Niis’

NIIS have announced a brand new EP!

The Los Angeles punk outfit have revealed their new EP, Play Niis, which is scheduled for release on October 23rd via Rise Records. The upcoming release marks the band’s debut for their new label home and follows their 2025 debut album, Niis World.

Speaking about the new EP, vocalist Mimi Doe shares, “picture this, you’ve just left the movies at the mall, your mom is calling you on your brand new flip phone. You ignore it and walk into the nearest hot topic. A song you haven’t heard before is playing on the speakers. They don’t have the cd you wanted and he hasn’t texted you back, so you go home, flip on the tube, Buffy’s on and she’s listening to that same song. That’s the vibe we’re going for here with Play Niis.”

To coincide with the announcement, NIIS have also unveiled Earthquakes, the first single from the forthcoming EP, alongside an accompanying music video.

Discussing the new single and the band’s signing to Rise Records, Doe adds, “it’s a song about growing through pain and heartbreak. Coming to terms with lost love and the profound scars it can leave on your heart. In a way, it’s a love letter to heartbreak itself. Working with Rise has been a dream. They truly are a label who have cultivated such an amazing environment for us to thrive and experiment.”
