Indie/rock darlings The Happy Fits unveiled today their sprightly new single “Everything You Do” along with an energetic new video. The track marks their first new music to release in nearly three years as they make their anticipated return and kick off an exciting new chapter for the band. With a newfound spirit and vigor, “Everything You Do” is an intoxicating, heartsick anthem with infectious hooks, earworm melodies, and dynamic instrumentation heralding a roll-down-the-windows summer vibe. The Happy Fits also announced worldwide tour dates this year including stops across the US, Europe, and the UK, see the full routing below or visit their website |
“I read somewhere that the amount of married US adults dropped from 67% in 1990 to 53% today,” stated frontman Calvin Langman. “At the same time, over 50% of millennials are taking on multiple jobs and ‘polyworking.’ I’m no data scientist, but why is it so damn expensive to be in a relationship these days? Maybe it’s just my social circles and algorithm, but there’s a shared feeling amongst the hoi polloi of being overworked, underpaid, and underloved. It’s not that we don’t want to be in relationships, it’s just that we simply can not afford to love. ‘Everything You Do’ is my own internal battle of fighting for my heart vs. being practical and rational. Knowing me, the heart always finds a way to win…”
They continued, “For the grand premiere of the bigger, better The Happy Fits 2.0, we knew we had to show what we do best: perform! The video was shot in the basement of the punk-world-famous First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, along with a skeleton crew of guys who knew how to squeeze every ounce of vibe out of that space and into the video. Ironically, we were kicked out two hours earlier than we expected due to an Agnostic group who had rented the space after us, claiming they rented it earlier than it said on the call sheet. They seemed pretty sure about this for a group of people who aren’t sure about a lot. Nonetheless, over 11 hours of shooting, we got the dozens of takes needed for our first performance-based music video ever, and the first look into the future of The Happy Fits.”
The past year has seen The Happy Fits go through a series of unexpected changes, including the addition of two new members: guitarists Raina Mullen (formerly of Ghost Light and American Babies) and Nico Rose (formerly of The Gooms). In a recent statement, Langman shared, “Over the last year, I’ve gotten to grow alongside Raina, Nico, and Luke - and it’s been incredible. We’re stronger, healthier, and more stoked than ever. I’ll always love what the old Happy Fits was, but I truly believe this is the best version of The Happy Fits yet.”
Since their 2018 debut, The Happy Fits have cemented their place as a buzzing presence on the indie/alt/rock map with chart-topping releases, worldwide headline tours, festival appearances, and an ever-growing ardent fanbase. With three acclaimed studio albums under their belt, they’ve earned a staggering 300 million streams globally. NPR has called them “fresh and snappy pop” while earning similar praises from FLOOD, Alternative Press (“bright…catchy and clean”), Teen Vogue (“The Happy Fits’ dedication to optimism is a musical silver lining”), PopMatters (“A delicate balance that strikes between sheer pop and raw rock ‘n’ roll.”), Atwood Magazine (“An infectious mix of catchy melodies, clever lyrics, and just the right balance of gritty indie and light alternative rock.”), and many more.
