The Sidekicks - Happiness Hours (May 18, 2018) Album • Page 5

Don't Feel Like Dancing is so goddamn good. Really looking forward to this record, I think it'll be a summer staple this year.

 

My wife put Don't Feel Like Dancing on a mix CD for me so I got to listen to it driving through the country with the windows down. I was on the verge of tears the whole time -- It's absolutely beautiful. The chords in this one sound so triumphant and Awkward Breed-sy and the bridge is just a beautiful piece of music.

 

Can't believe this album is out on Friday, there's been so little label hype/PR for it. I keep expecting the release date to get pushed back.

 

It won't! I just got an email reminder that it was out Friday. I'll be submitting my review on Wednesday at the latest.

I seriously cannot recommend this album enough. If it doesn't quite strike you at first, do yourself a favor and give it some time to grow as it's only gotten more stunning for me over the past month (alongside the warmer weather). "Win Affection" sounds like a straight-up classic Smiths song.

 

I want this album last week

 

Weed Tent is up for streaming, at least on Apple music. It’s lovely. Can’t wait for the rest!

 

Half tempted to wait because its so close to release day but I just know I'm gonna slap it on the second I get back into the office lol

 

ofc I caved but I regret nothing this song is so fucking good

 

Yea had no idea this was out so soon! Awesome

 

weed tent is so good. i needed new sidekicks in my life this morning.

 

got my happiness hours shirt in the mail yesterday. ready for the show next week!

 

Yeah I'm dying for this

Really excited to see them Sunday too

 

THE GREATEST ROCK & ROLL BAND IN AMERICA

 

i wish i had that shirt

 

Weed Tent is great. Win Affection is great. Serpent In a Sun Drought is great. Maybe Steve's best lyrics overwall. You're gonna love it if you're from Ohio/the Midwest. You're gonna love it if you're not.

 

Wish this album was out

 

Just listened to their radio session. They played Twins, Dancing and Happiness Hours

 

I miss the days when albums would stream in their entirety on stereogum or p4k the week before

that was such a short lived time tho

 

streams don't matter when you can stream easily on release, if you stream an album early it's pretty much just pushing the release date forward in a harder to access form

 

I’m aware lol

back then streaming was not as universal as it is now

 

It's super nice out today and raining tomorrow. Wish this was out today

 

i never saw this until now

 

They all 3 covered each others songs before starting tour. Menz, Sidekicks and Cheap Girls
I thought Menz covered Sidekicks but they must have covered CG

 

Thanks for sharing that! I'm SO CONFUSED about what I'm going to go listen to now, though...
