THE LAZY SUSANS “R U OK?” EP OUT FEBRUARY 1

Resist Records welcomes The Lazy Susans to its roster. After a year of touring and two trips around Australia on the back of Debut EP Closure, The Lazy Susans (FKA Antonia & The Lazy Susans), today release their new single ‘R U OK?’.

‘R U OK?’, recorded, produced and mixed by Sam Johnson (Camp Cope, The Smith Street Band) is the first taste of things to come from the band’s forthcoming debut album. A track that tackles, and highlights, the importance of mental health and checking up on your friends; exploring themes of feeling alone, even when surrounded by people. ‘R U OK?’ is a song of survival and the ways we cope with mental health. Asked of the inspiration behind ‘R U OK?’ Antonia labels the song “An anthem for anyone feeling alone”. 

Blue Mountains formed, now Melbourne based The Lazy Susans write heart-on-sleeve alt-rock rammed full of infectious melodies. A blistering start to their career has seen the band in the national support slots for the likes of AJJ and The Hard Aches, land festival sets at The Smith Street Band’s Pool House Party and Til the Wheels Fall Off. 

“R U OK?” will be released on February 1st and will be available on coloured vinyl 7”, Cassette and digitally.

MODERN LIFE IS WAR AUSTRALIAN TOUR

Formed in early 2002 in Marshalltown, Iowa, Modern Life Is War went on to release four full length albums: My Love. My Way. (2003), Witness (2005), Midnight in America (2007), and Fever Hunting (2013). Like a lot of bands, they have been through many highs and lows. Broken Vans, breakups, reunions, injuries, tours, lineup changes, mental illness, peaks, valleys, misery and general confusion. The members of the band value creativity, self-expression and independent thought and do their best to represent that with their music and lyrics.

Along the way they have developed a wildly supportive cult of supporters who allow the band to keep traveling and recording. June 2018 saw the band announce “Tribulation Worksongs” an ongoing singles series which to date has seen the release of Volumes 1 and 2, with the next 2 volumes due in 2019.

March 2019 sees the band touring Australia for the very first time, with Sydney’s Homesick joining them on all dates. Tickets on sale Thursday January 10.
