Had Sandy - I Hate My Parents And I Wanna Learn How To Swim
Had Sandy make listeners feel 16 again with energetic new single 'I Hate My Parents And I Wanna Learn How To Swim'.
Brighton four-piece Had Sandy have released their suitably-emo-titled new single 'I Hate My Parents And I Wanna Learn How To Swim' via Sugar-Free Records. Now I don't know about anyone else but I've been saying for ages we need to bring back emo bands with silly long song titles, and while this one isn't the era of emo I used to listen to there's elements there and there is definitely a large dose of nostalgia driven into it.
"The title actually means something entirely different to the lyrical content of the song, but accurately paints a nostalgic picture of teen angst and the innocence of a misunderstood kid. However, the lyrics sit somewhere between smoking cigarettes to try fit in, and frustration with contrasting feelings in a relationship - all in all, the essence of being a teenager - and the song tells this musical story. I love the idea that someone's nostalgia can be someone else's present fixation. We've had a few people saying that our songs 'make them feel 16 again', and that's what this song is meant for." - (Jude Allenby, Vocals & Guitar, Had Sandy)
'I Hate My Parents And I Wanna Learn How To Swim' is a track that will take you from in your face punk sounds and then right into more emo focused ones. It feels chaotic at times but in the best way always bringing it back into control with smoother guitars and vocals making an appearance as well. This one to me feels like it belongs in the second wave of emo and while this isn't necessarily the kind of sound I would immeditely think of when picturing the genre it easily slips in there. I am very happy to have discovered Had Sandy through this track and will be heading to check out more of there songs after I've written this!
