New lead single by this UK band. Serviced to #Happens' Alternative Downloads section today. "The Drop" off their last record charted on both Alternative and Triple A.

Has a strong Sophistipop vibe. Much like The 1975 songs. A complete 360 from "The Drop", but I love it. Not too much into JDMs. I'm more of a Muscle car guy, but it still has a good sing a long value. I think AAA might appreciate it more.

Conceptually speaking, did Huey Lewis & The News (at their prime) get teleported into 2024? Because I kind of hear it, and the idea itself isn't a bad one.
(Side-note: I'm on their alt downloads, and I'm not seeing it.)

No surprise that it's also impacting AAA on August 5th, per JBE.

Definitely not what I was expecting from them, but pretty good.

This is so good. That saxophone is so catchy. You could have easily played this and convinced me it was an unreleased song from the 80’s.

Can someone AI Matty Healy's voice into this song and tell he this is a demo from ILIWYS?

Official music video has been uploaded by band. This thing has great potential if promoted right. Matt Healy sitting in a pub somewhere thinking 'that's the sound I searching for'.

This would be a fun hit for the Fall, seems very boom or bust.
