The UK power-pop-punk revival continues with awesome DIY act Happydaze, a 4-piece from Edinburgh. I know I’ve wrote before about just clicking through links to bands and that’s exactly how I found Happydaze, totally unintentionally hooking me from the first listen.
Having recently released self-directed video for latest single ‘Go Wrong’ with only 2 other releases during late 2020 in the form of angst driven heartbreak ballads ‘What’s It For’ and ’Talk About’ their latest outing takes things up a gear. Pulling out influences from American metal core outfit A Day To Remember alongside anthemic blasts of Mallory Knox and the rock-ready stadium built emo-pop of Twin Atlantic and you’ve found Happydaze distinctive sound.
‘Go Wrong’ starts with a catchy riff (like all great songs) then within the first minute we are ploughing into a hook driven chorus, taking things down a notch through the verse and hurling us back into another chorus made for mosh pits.
We are less than a year into the birth of Happydaze and they are already getting plays on BBC introducing and Radio 1, being compiled into previous South Solar City highlight Yungbluds playlist ‘Misfits 2.0’ and receiving plaudits all round. With a lockdown light at the end of the tunnel Happydaze are sure to be one of the bands to look out for in a local music venue near you!
