Stories of bizarre vulnerabilities told from the perspective of four young guys who met to form the band which combines hard hitting riffs to the melancholy of 90s Grunge with tales of loneliness and self doubt but underlined with raw distorted guitars. The band’s third single Happy follows the band’s 2017 debut EP Disorder and single My Inner Baby which lead to them playing festivals across Europe this summer and on the road with acts such as Taking Back Sunday, And So I Watch You From Afar and Marmozets, which rapidly grew their fan-base and made them one of the most exciting new rock bands in Europe.
Michael (drums): “Happy was written in a phase where a lot was happening inside and around of us. We were not sure exactly in what direction our songwriting would go, but when we wrote Happy, we were certain that this song is set in the future.” Martin (guitar): “Usually we experiment and try out a lot while writing a song. With Happy it was different. The songwriting process was extremely short and perhaps the key to why the song is so straight forward.” Marius (vocals and guitar): “Happy is a love song, but to no degree a profession of love – Happy begs the question: Who do you love more: Yourself or love itself?” Max (bass): “Playing this song live gives us the feeling of glum euphoria. The song isn’t joyful but at the same time straight forward.”

Kid Dad: Happy Lyrics:
I’m cheating on my feelings
The things in life that made me grow somehow
Alternative behaviour
Doing things that make no sense for now
You said: go save yourself
But maybe I’m afraid as hell
Of being alone
How happy are you now?
How happy are you now?
‘Call me when you’re sober’
A perfect definition of your love
‘Happy’ isn’t ‘happy’
‘Satisfied’ is not ‘alive’, I know
You said: go safe yourself
But maybe I’m aware of how
It hurts
How happy are you now?
How happy are you now?
