Wrapped in a glossy, cinematic skin, the Bordeaux based group weave in elements of\u00a080\u2019s synth-wave, alt-rock and hip-hop to create their self-styled brand of &#8220;dark-pop&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of its seven tracks, the French quartet showcase an eclectic style. <em>&#8216;The Wrong Way&#8217;<\/em> is an entrancing number with rapid vocals before delivering a soaring chorus. While\u00a0<em>&#8216;Damn I Hate It&#8217;<\/em> carries itself with an irresistible groove that fellow Frenchmen Daft Punk would be proud of. The ominous <em>&#8216;Someone&#8217;<\/em> highlights the smooth vocals of\u00a0Matthieu Kirby alongside a pulsating beat. In a similar fashion,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Lost In The Crowd&#8217;<\/em> struts along with plenty of pop flair and a touch of hip-hop.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their neon-tinged and nostalgic exterior, <strong>The Sunday Sadness<\/strong>\u00a0have an emotional core as the EP explores the\u00a0fate of someone that lost it all; their ambition, relationships and the will to connect with a failed, modern society.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of its imminent release, we spoke to\u00a0Matthieu Kirby and drummer\u00a0John Fine as they broke down music by the numbers, telling us about the bands everyone needs to hear, the songs they wish they had written, those all-important essential tour items and more.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"TSS - Someone (Official Music Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JTx9i7H9BJM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h1>1 Artist I Couldn\u2019t Live Without\u2026<\/h1>\n<p><i>John: Linkin Park is the band I grew up with. They shaped my vision of music and made me want to become a musician. Even nowadays, when I don\u2019t feel quite right I know there\u2019s an LP song that can help me out.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Matthieu: Chase Atlantic. About a year ago I was at a point where I was really craving for some new, fresh and unheard music that I could obsess over. I tried many bands but couldn\u2019t get the feeling I was looking for. They randomly Chase Atlantic came in my suggestions feed and I instantly fell in love with their vibe. Now I need to listen to them at least once a day.<\/i><\/p>\n<h1>2 People I Know, That Shaped My Passion For Music\u2026<\/h1>\n<p>John: Croisade &#8211; one of my best friends who also happens to be a brilliant composer. He taught me how to write music and showed me how to stimulate my creativity.<\/p>\n<p><i>Matthieu: Back when I was 17, Nicolas Gadrat was the guitarist of a pretty big local band where I live and I used to look up to that band. Things lead to another and we ended up being best friends and created a band called As Clarity Falls. So we\u2019ve spent entire weekends in our rooms writing music. It was the first time I was actually writing and recording music.<\/i><\/p>\n<h1>3 Songs You Wish You\u2019d Written\u2026<\/h1>\n<p><em>John: &#8216;Somebody Else&#8217; by <\/em>The 1975<em>. The lyrics tore out my heart when I first listened to it. And the mood is just so unique! It&#8217;s a terribly sad song, but also a song you could dance to.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 1975 &#8211; Somebody Else<br \/>\nChase Atlantic &#8211; Ozone<br \/>\nLinkin Park &#8211; Easier To Run<\/p>\n<h1>4 Bands Everyone Should Hear\u2026<\/h1>\n<p><i>John: Cherry Pools! They are an awesome alt-rock band in the vibe of The 1975. They only have an EP out for now but I\u2019m pretty sure they\u2019re gonna go big.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Matthieu: Everyone should hear Swimming Girls. All their songs are straight bangers. They\u2019re a dream-pop band from the UK. The singer, Vanessa, has a pretty unique voice and her melodies are obsessing. I also love this new band called The Ghost Club, the singer sounds just like Brendon Urie, they only put out one song but it pretty much went viral since the song is so well produced.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>1. Cherry Pools<br \/>\n2. Swimming Girls<br \/>\n3. The Ghost Club<br \/>\n4. No Rome<\/p>\n<h1>5 Songs You Love\u2026<\/h1>\n<p><i>Matthieu: &#8216;Love Scenario&#8217; by the k-pop band iKon. The melody of the chorus is very original and just so catchy. I heard that Korean primary schools had to forbid singing this song because the kids couldn\u2019t stop singing along to it. You can actually find compilations of this on YouTube! All of us in the band are a huge fan of K-pop music and I could list many songs, but if you had to check one go for &#8216;Fake Love&#8217; by BTS.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>John: &#8216;I Fall Apart&#8217; by Post Malone, &#8216;Easier to Run&#8217; by Linkin Park. Do I really need to explain why?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Ikon &#8211; Love Scenario<br \/>\nBTS &#8211; Fake Love<br \/>\nThe 1975 &#8211; Give Yourself A Try<br \/>\nPost Malone -I Fall Apart<br \/>\nLinkin Park &#8211; Easier To Run<\/p>\n<h1>6 Bands You\u2019re Keen To Play With\u2026<\/h1>\n<p><i>John: The 1975, they\u2019re definitely putting out the best show ever! It would be such an honour to play with such legends. Bring Me The Horizon are just so on point too. Based on the recent footages of their tour, it\u2019s pretty safe to say they\u2019re going to be one of the biggest alternative rock bands soon.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Matthieu: Chase Atlantic. I\u2019ve seen them live and their set is so energetic. It\u2019s one of those bands that sound really different live than in the studio, but in such a good way. They\u2019re definitely rocking the stage.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The 1975<br \/>\nTokio Hotel<br \/>\nBring Me The Horizon<br \/>\nChase Atlantic<br \/>\nPale Waves<br \/>\nWaterparks<\/p>\n<h1>7 Places You\u2019d Love To Play\u2026<\/h1>\n<p><i>John: I guess. Japan or Korea because the lifestyle is so different. The relations between artists and fans seem also pretty different. We want to discover new places, go out of our comfort zone and in a certain way, connect with the music that inspires us daily since we\u2019re such huge fans of Korean and Japanese music.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>S\u00e9oul<br \/>\nNew York<br \/>\nLondon<br \/>\nTokyo<br \/>\nMexico<br \/>\nBerlin<br \/>\nKorea<\/p>\n<h1>8 Essential Tour Items\u2026<\/h1>\n<p>Blankets<br \/>\nEscape the Fate &#8211; &#8216;Dying Is Your Latest Fashion&#8217; album<br \/>\nNeck Cushion<br \/>\nWater<br \/>\nGuitar picks (loads of guitar picks)<br \/>\nHair straightener<br \/>\nPortable charger<br \/>\nLaptop<\/p>\n<h1>9 Words To Describe Your Band\u2026<\/h1>\n<p>Nocturnal<br \/>\nNostalgic<br \/>\nEmotional<br \/>\nAesthetic<br \/>\nSynths<br \/>\nRetro<br \/>\nAlternative<br \/>\nDark<br \/>\nPop<\/p>\n<h1>10 Favourite Albums Of All Time\u2026<\/h1>\n<p><i>Matthieu: My Chemical Romance &#8211; The Black Parade. Everything about this record is perfect. The lyrics, the songwriting, the production, the music videos that came with. It\u2019s one of those records that I need to listen to on a regular basis and I just can\u2019t skip a track.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>John: Meteora by Linkin Park. This record is a masterpiece, I went through life with these songs by my side and I will continue to live by Chester\u2019s word.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Linkin Park &#8211; Meteora<br \/>\nLinkin Park &#8211; Minutes To Midnight<br \/>\nPost Malone &#8211; Beerbongs &amp; Bentleys<br \/>\nThe Midnight &#8211; Endless Summer<br \/>\nPale Waves &#8211; My Mind Makes Noises<br \/>\nChase Atlantic &#8211; Chase Atlantic<br \/>\nMy Chemical Romance &#8211; The Black Parade<br \/>\nGood Charlotte &#8211; The Young And The Hopeless<br \/>\nThe 1975 &#8211; I Like It When You Sleep\u2026<br \/>\nSavant &#8211; Protos<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/user\/alreadyhearduk\/playlist\/4YTMtwOLKowvekKAKtdH9j\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;The Sunday Sadness&#8217;<\/em> EP by <strong>The Sunday Sadness<\/strong> is released on 15th February.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sunday Sadness<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesundaysadness.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheSundaySadness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tsundaysadness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thesundaysadness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French &#8220;dark-pop&#8221; newcomers The Sunday Sadness break down music by the numbers.<br \/><bR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":75899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15017],"tags":[62,122,235,16559,16560],"class_list":["post-75898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-by-numbers","tag-already-heard","tag-feature","tag-music-by-numbers","tag-the-sunday-sadness","tag-the-sunday-sadness-ep"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
