Happy Now

On their second album Happy Now, vocalist/guitarist Nikki Sisti, vocalist/bassist Kate Black, and vocalist/drummer Shari Page deliver their most complex and confessional work yet. They explore everything from self-sabotage and insecurity to victim-blaming and destructive relationships.

Raw, irreverent, and brutally honest, Happy Now ultimately offers both joyful catharsis and much-needed instruction for living well in turbulent times. The follow-up to 5 Years Behind (a 2020 release praised by Under the Radar as a "dazzling debut album...laced with anger, humor, killer guitar riffs, and soaring punk melodies"), Happy Now finds Thick working again with producer Joel Hamilton (Iggy Pop, Juiceboxxx) and recording at Studio G Brooklyn.

In a profound evolution of their previous work, the 11-track album encompasses sharper arrangements, stickier hooks, and a more explosive energy—an effect often achieved through the sheer force of their three voices singing in unstoppable unison.
