Kendra Sheetz Nashville femmecore four-piece The Dreaded Laramie has released a new single, “Life is Funny,” and have announced that it will be featured on their upcoming debut full-length album, Princess Feedback, which will be released on July 5th via Smartpunk Records. The new single is an anthemic power pop shredder which dives into an experience with a crush that led frontwoman MC Cunningham from initial rejection to growing discomfort. She explains:
“At one point, I tried to make a move, and he politely turned me down (reasonable), but then starting that night at about 3AM flooded me with a TON of very cryptic text messages, including the title, ‘Life is funny.’ It’s very confusing to be both sad that someone has rejected you and uncomfortable with the advances he makes following the rejection. I am still friends with this person, but he texts me a lot less now, and only during business hours.”
The new single also is accompanied by a video in which the band gets pelted with eggs by labelmates (and recent tourmates) Virginity. In all its goopy glory, the video serves up a representation of the absurd and hilarious situations one finds themselves encountering in personal relationships as well as on the road. Sometimes you just have to laugh in the face of it.
