Only Bricks – “Big Girl Shoes”

While both are practicing lawyers, this husband and wife duo finds their true calling in music. Anne DiGiovanni and Joseph Lewczak got married in 2017 and they debuted with their EP “Foundation” only a year later.

Shining a light on the continued inequality between men and women in the workplace, their new single blends upbeat indie-pop with a touch of classic punk. Starting off with bouncy guitar plucks and almost seductive vocals, this track explodes in the chorus.
