It's a matter-of-fact lyrics delivered in a matter-of-fact way but a second later, Grace Dudas and Raegan Gordon join in to harmonize on a booming \"whoa-oh-oh-oh\" chorus. In the span of about three seconds, Leisure Hour's whole ethos becomes clear. The Sunny Side is the result of years of writing and recording, the culmination of a half-decade of lineup changes; by now, Leisure Hour's reached their final form: bassist\/vocalist Dudas, guitarist\/vocalist Neal, and drummer\/vocalist Gordon. The Sunny Side, according to the band, is about \"love, loss, and struggle with mental health as a middle class individual,\" and maybe it was a case of life mimicking art. The three of them struggled to come up with enough money to record and produce these songs the way they envisioned; they picked up extra shifts at their jobs and, in true DIY fashion, decided to throw as many music festivals as they could to drum up enough cash to bring these songs to life, and \"the community around us rallied together to make this album happen, and for that we are eternally grateful.\" That gratitude is the driving force behind The Sunny Side. The eleven songs that comprise the record are built on shaky hopes and the anticipation of disappointment, but along with that comes a teeth-gritting resilience and a hard-won appreciation for those small victories. \"I can't forgive you,\" Dudas sings at the end of \"Forgiveness,\" but she follows it quickly with \"But I'm trying to,\" and then she repeats it over and over. Maybe she's just trying to convince herself, but it's the effort that matters. Leisure Hour won't stop looking on the sunny side anytime soon, and they're trying their damnedest to convince you to do the same.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Refresh Records","offers":[{"title":"Yellow LP","offer_id":50442975838539,"sku":"2203343","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Leisure_Hour_-_The_Sunny_Side_98cc9c3b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727006825"},{"product_id":"at-your-own-risksmall-hours","title":"At Your Own Risk\/Small Hours","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew album, “Birdwatching”, comes out on Sept. 20 via SideOneDummy. Features bonus track “The Water Temple Is Filled With My Tears and Now I’m Drowning in Sorrow”. Bursting onto the scene in 2018, Cliffdiver consisted of six specialists combining their talents for the greater good. Based out of Tulsa, Oklahoma, each member of the band is a verifiable veteran of their own hometown – and the sum total of their experience quickly added up to a tight \u0026amp; exciting sound in Cliffdiver instantly as they started to jam, write, and record songs for their debut. With stunning versatility in their amped-up sound that vibrantly expands to include emo, ska, rock, punk, \u0026amp; more – the advantages of having six players all holding their own and unified in their vision led the band to the official release of four highly creative \u0026amp; colorful cuts on their Small Hours EP. Immediately catching attention with fans \u0026amp; critics alike, the momentum \u0026amp; support for Cliffdiver grew rapidly, with singles “You Sir, Are Obviously Not A Golfer,” and “Teaching A Narwhal Empathy” bringing many people in to discover the gripping sounds \u0026amp; incredible new songs that the six-piece band created. Quickly following up with the release of At Your Own Risk (2019), it was clear that Cliffdiver was making music that the people wanted to hear; that their own untamed style \u0026amp; relentlessly energetic melodies, their poetic-edge, raw passion, and their wildest ideas were truly connecting \u0026amp; resonating with everyone listening. Following the release of these EPs, Cliffdiver grew to 7 musicians with the addition of a second vocalist, Briana Wright, and signed with SideOneDummy Records for the release of their acclaimed debut album, “Exercise Your Demons”. The band has since lived on the tour circuit, supporting artists such as Less Than Jake, Taking Back Sunday, The Wonder Years, and Hot Mulligan, as well as sparking a flame in their home scene that helped to highlight fellow rising artists such as Ben Quad and Sunfo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Refresh Records","offers":[{"title":"Pink LP","offer_id":50449555521867,"sku":"2223790","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Cliffdiver_-_At_Your_Own_Risk__Small_Hours_46467bca_thu_8fff5448_thumbnail.webp?v=1730965661"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/refresh-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
