'The Way You
Hate Me'.
"Melody
fuelled, angst driven, there's a certain grandness, a nod towards
the epic and beautiful" - Kerrang!, 13.03.04. - Tom Bryant
Happylife,
one of the most exciting new melodic British rock acts to emerge
for many years, are set to release their UK debut album 'Sweet
Resort', October 11th, on the highly acclaimed new indie rock
label Albert Productions UK.
Having successfully launched Breed 77
Albert's roster goes from strength to strength with Happy Life
set to become their latest success story. Armed with a new manager,
a blistering new album and support from the UK's hottest independent
rock label, Happylife are all set to gatecrash the music mainstream.
'Sweet Resort' follows the band's new
single 'Silence When You're Burning' which is already receiving
attention from the cool radio DJ's such as Zane Lowe and Joe Whiley.
'Silence When You're Burning' follows two highly acclaimed releases,
'Breathe For Me' and 'The Way You Hate Me', both of which were
Top 10 Indie chart hits.
Having successfully supported the Rasmus
at the Astoria and previously toured the UK with 3 Colours Red
and Reuben, Happylife take to the road on their own headline tour
in September, preceded by an appearance at the Beautiful Days
festival in Devon and two more high profile support slots with
the Rasmus. Confirmed dates thus far are :-
August 22nd - Beautiful Days Festival,
Escot, Exeter, Devon
August 25th Supporting the
Rasmus - Glasgow Barrowlands
August 28th Supporting the Rasmus - Nottingham Rock City
September 11th Wolverhampton - Little Civic
September 14th London Upstairs - the Garage
September 15th Manchester - Music Box
September 16th Bournemouth - Mr Smiths
September 20th Exeter - Cavern
happylife are a truly
great 'organic' rock band whose instinctive feel for melody and
musical light and shade is amply demonstrated by the abundance
of incredible, soaring, dark, cutting edge songs already under
their very talented belts. Their 'from the gut' instinctive approach,
coupled with an addiction to dark, dynamic, hard edged melodies,
more than amply justifies the massive interest currently aroused
on both sides of the Atlantic.
