Porridge Radio announced that their debut, Every Bad, album will be out March 13th via Secretly Canadian. The Brighton, UK rockers also shared the second single from the album, “Sweet,” with its video directed by Sam Hiscox.
About the latest song, lead singer Dana Margolin said, “‘Sweet’ is a song about holding grudges and learning how to have fun and letting go of an old version of yourself. I was feeling light-hearted when I wrote it, but when we came together to play it as a band, it suddenly felt really dramatic and exciting. When we play it live, the energy in the room always feels really intense, and then suddenly we just explode altogether and it always feels really good.”
“Sweet” is the second single the band releases, and the first of 2020, following the lead track “Lilac.”
