Alt-rock powerhouse Weathers has today released “Happy Pillz (Higher Dose)“, a fresh reimagining of the band’s fan-favorite track “Happy Pills“ via their new label home, Big Machine Rock. Speaking about the release, the band shared:
“‘Happy Pills’ is already familiar to our fans, but this new version breathes life into something beloved for some time. It has the new sound of who we are today while sticking to the roots of what we know our fans love. We didn’t want to change much but wanted them to hear what it would sound like re-recorded today. We hope it gives our dedicated fans a second dose of the same energy with a new high that has no come down. We feel like it signifies a new life for the song. As if it was given a second chance to do it all over again.” Stream “Happy Pillz (Higher Dose)“ at the link here, watch the official video here or in the thumbnail below, and be sure to stay tuned for more Weathers news coming soon.
Southern California-based alternative rock band Weathers — lead singer/frontman Cameron Boyer, guitarist Cameron Olsen and bassist Brennen Bates — have been consistently creating finely crafted introspective pop songs heavily inspired by the counter-culture of the 80s and 90s since forming in 2015. The band makes music that speaks to those among us who tend to forget that, regardless of outward appearances, everyone is struggling with something and that no one is alone. Weathers’ story is a tale of growing up, of coming into one’s own, and includes themes of depression or anxiety and the often difficult maintenance of mental health. They first grabbed listeners’ attention with 2016’s “Happy Pills,” which peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Initially, vocalist Boyer and guitarist Olsen met in 2012 while attending a battle of the bands in the Los Angeles suburb of Manhattan Beach. By 2015, they had formed Weathers, recruiting bassist Bates. Signing with RCA Records, they released their debut single, “I Don’t Wanna Know,” a swaggeringly moody song that drew comparisons to Walk the Moon and The Neighbourhood. Fans followed, and in March 2016 they landed a slot at SXSW. Their follow-up single, “Happy Pills,” garnered the band even more attention, becoming the most added track to rock radio in July 2016. In 2018, they issued the Kids in the Night EP, featuring the single “1983.”
