The Tubs have been described as a Celtic jangle boyband in a new press release. The band, who are Merge signees, have been releasing new music this summer with their album Hard Life. The group has shared advance tracks including "Who s Gonna Love You Now?" and "Stoop To Me."
The third preview, "Now And Then," is an intensely pulsing new wave guitar song. Owen Williams, one of the band members, writes from two personas on Hard Life. Some songs are sung from his usual self-absorbed perspective, while others are delivered by a scolding voice fed up with the other persona's indulgent behavior.
Williams explains that the new tune is a classic cuck-rock tune about a period where he fooled himself into thinking occasional dating would be a sustainable arrangement. Hard Life is set to be released on September 11th via Merge Records.
