about

A rocking ode to the mid-2000s alt-rock scene, the tunnel vision of nostalgia and the unattainable height of the bar set by fan hype.

lyrics

What's the point of looking for gold
when the mine's been tapped long ago?
And it takes a heavy toll
For the mind not to lose it's control
For the few found are subjected to an ocean of false belief
and the few found are still holding their breath in the hope of some comic relief

So get on your shoulder pads, let's go for a dance
We'll kiss under neon lights if you give me a chance
'cause when you dress the heydays in leather, knee high boots and lipstick pens
Oh well the eighties never looked better, than in the two thousand and tens

Well, I'm sick of being disappointed by the albums of my favourite bands
Come on, fit into this box named my expectations and my demands
For this new sound and direction's unfamiliar to my eager ears
Oh, this new sound that I'll defend to death, in probably five or more years

So get on your shoulder pads, let's go for a dance
We'll kiss under neon lights if you give me a chance
'cause when you dress the heydays in leather, knee high boots and lipstick pens
Oh well the eighties never looked better, than in the two thousand and tens

What am I meant to do?
Not play this song because the sound's been done before?
That has nothing to do
with the fun we're having, so what are you asking me for?
The shine of silver screen pseudo joy is all that gets me off so far
I'm just a seventeen year old boy who thinks watching Batman makes him a fan of neo-noir

What am I meant to do?

So get on your shoulder pads let's go for a dance
We'll kiss under neon lights, so Frankie say relax
'cause when you dress the heydays in leather, knee high boots and lipstick pens
Oh well the eighties never looked better, than in the two thousand and tens
The two thousand and tens

about

Sad Hour image

Sad Hour Perth, Australia

Hearken back to a time when riffs and bass lines reigned supreme. Namely, mid 90's to mid 00's Brit-pop music, minus the ego and sibling warfare. With a band name steeped in irony, our music will rock your anklets off while we try to cling to any relevance the genre still has. Sure is fun though. ... more
