Introducing: Happy Accidents

• 21st Apr 2016

Coming in short and sharp like an indie pop kick to the goolies, Alcopop! Records latest signings Happy Accidents are trading in the kind of sunshine-ready anthems that could well be the soundtrack to your 2016 summer.

This quirky London trio are set to drop their debut album ‘You Might Be Right’ on 1st July accompanied by a rather enviable string of tour dates in mainland Europe and a run of UK festivals. Drawing influence from The Thermals, The Pixies, as well as their peers in the UK’s thriving DIY scene, they kick off with a video from the album’s first cut, ‘Leaving Parties Early’, which will be released in early April.

Rich from the band elaborates on the track – “Leaving Parties Early is about the coping mechanisms I go through when put into situations where I’m not completely comfortable. I wrote it after coming home from another terrible club night, trying my best to have a great time, while simultaneously never entertaining the idea that it might just not be for me. It was all part of learning that it’s okay to have a different idea of fun to those who surround us, and that personal preference is a wonderful thing!”
