London indie-punk trio Happy Accidents have got a rather big summer planned, announcing their signing to Alcopop! Records and the forthcoming release of their debut album You Might Be Right, which will be revealed to the world on 1 st July. This accompanies a rather enviable string of tour dates in mainland Europe and a run of UK festvals. Drawing infuence from The Thermals, The Pixies, as well as their peers in the UK's thriving DIY scene, they kick of with a video from the album's frst cut, Leaving Partes Early - which will be released in early April. If there was one song on the record that could truly defne Happy Accidents, latest single 'Leaving Partes Early' would be the one. With sugar-coated choruses and 'four to the foor' disco drums, the band's sonic urgency may speak volumes on its own; but the disparity between the music and the lyrics showcases the great dichotomy of Happy Accidents. Dealing with maters such as anxiety and societal pressures, the song raises questons of identty within the context of atending partes where you don't quite know if you ft in. This contrast runs throughout the record, with the band pairing introspectve lyrics with the biggest hooks they can muster. Formed by brothers Rich and Neil Mandell and Phoebe Cross back in 2014, Happy Accidents craf the kind of earworms that will be ratling round your head for months to come - fusing their deep-seated love of 90s punk and indie, whilst stll managing to sound as fresh as any of their contemporaries. Quickly making a name for themselves in DIY punk circles, they've shared stages with the likes of The Front Botoms, Martha, Muncie Girls, and countless others
