This is fine.
We’re so dang close folks. SXSW is only a week away, or a few days, depending on where you’re at. We’re still trying to wrap up all our interviews, so we’re bringing you this one from England’s Happyness. The group released their Weird Little Birthday last year in the UK, but they’re building some hype here in the States…and the record will be here soon. Check out the quick interview we grabbed with Benji. Read more
Surely Happyness has hit your radar, as they’ve had an incredible run the last year or so. They maintain their balance between huge walls of guitar noise and pop sensibility that really harkens back to the late 90s when bands like Grandaddy and The Comas were gods in my listening rotation. You’ll hear a screeching guitar in the middle here before they bring back the power hook that comes with every vocal. If you love pop, but still love to rock a bit, then there’s not going to be a better band for you in 2015. Look for their new effort, Weird Little Birthday, on March 24th via Bar None.
