Strawberry Launch – Bad Luck

We’re still only in the summer of 2024, but it’s already been one of the most chaotic and unpredictable years we’ve ever gone through (for us, at least).

But with every uncertainty comes the fact that, whether we want to or not, we just have to fight through and carry on. American outfit Strawberry Launch captures the sentiment wonderfully with their pop-rock ballad, ‘Bad Luck’.

Meeting her for dinner / you turn a blind eye
Yeah I think you should leave him / and you ask my why
It’s just bad luck, just a bad deal, it’s just bad luck, just a bad year

The song is lifted from the group’s freshly released EP of the same name, which includes four more bangers that are definitely worth playing very loudly in your homes. So pick yourselves up and dance through the mess… good days will come!

Strawberry Launch – Ready Yet

New York’s Strawberry Launch have been winning over fans ever since their formation back in 2018.

This much-praised collective of musicians have grown a reputation for crafting pop-rock anthems that are not only energising, but also thoughtful and emotive in tone.

They’re back today with another impressive new release that deserves your attention.

‘Ready Yet’ is a ‘coming of age’ song that was lyrically inspired by the thoughts and feelings which occur during our transition into adulthood.

“‘Ready Yet’ is an honest soliloquy about the fear of getting older. The warm and truthful pop ballad shares the familiar anxiety of losing one’s purpose and clinging to the small moments of early life, while easing into the waters of adulthood.”

To date, this emerging group have picked up support from noted industry outlets like Atwood Magazine, Rolling Stone India and Under the Radar. On Spotify, they have amassed more than 200k career streams and currently command 23k monthly listeners.

Strawberry Launch play New York’s Baby’s All Right on the 3rd May and The Sultan Room on the 7th June – tickets can be found here.
