Dublin based new wave rock band Hook are set to release Best Days, which will be their first release of 2021.
The song features the trademark Hook sound inspired by the new wave rock sound of the 80s, with a simple guitar line and bass line that really comes to the fore during the choruses.
The song also features harmonics and distorted sounds and sees the band push experiment with their sound.
Lyrically this song is autobiographical about being a young person and being told that these are the best days of their lives.
However as Eoin (vocals, guitar) explains that isn’t necessarily true:
“For some, it’s a very lonely and isolating time. Everyone is telling you that these are the best days and years of your life, but more often than not it doesn’t feel that way. There’s so many expectations to be social and interesting, but most people in fact have trouble making friends or feeling accepted.”
He goes on to say,:
“The chorus states that these are the best days of my life, but I don’t think of them like that, and in fact can’t imagine anything worse than that being true.”
Best Days is released on 2nd April and is available to pre save here: Best Days: Pre-Save
