London alt-rockers Sad Boys Club have announced their debut album, Lullabies From The Lightning Tree, alongside a new single: ‘To Heal Without A Scar (Is A Waste Of A Good Wound’. The track wastes no time, with the emotional intensity of bassist Pedro Caetano’s composition kicking in from its opening seconds and being guided forward by explosive hooks and blissful guitar tones. “Sometimes I can have a hard time acknowledging life as reality, maybe I just don't want to,” vocalist Jacob Wheldon says of the track’s lyrical content. “It often results in bad consequences for myself and those around me which I then use songs to somehow justify - some might argue that makes me a toxic narcissist (/man), I'm not sure I'd disagree. I'm working on it.” Be sure to keep an eye out for Lullabies From The Lightning Tree when it releases on May 5th, 2023. The band are also embarking on a UK tour in May. -Dan Peeke.
