Project 1268 debut a feel good & vibrant single, "Happiness"
On their first officially released single titled “Happiness”, you can instantly sense the passion and love coming through from new duo, Project 1268. Do yourselves a huge favor and read on for our positive review of the track, as well as a background on the band.
Made up of old friends Craig and Haley, the two have come together to create a new band called Project 1268. Blending up a wide array of genres, but ultimately classified as upbeat indie rock, their debut single “Happiness” has successfully given us that emotion after multiple listens through. If you know what’s good for you, and you appreciate music that makes you feel good, we highly recommend you give it a spin.
With Haley on lead vocals, we can only assume that Craig took care of the instrumentation. Together though they’ve come forward with an eclectic mix of sound that is vibrant and perfectly primed to get dancing to. While we labeled it as indie rock, there’s still so much else going on sonically. We sensed a little bit of punk and even hints of third wave ska due to the completely necessary addition of horns as well. Certainly the song is well rounded and it’s set a lovely base for what we can hopefully expect in the future.
What you can expect before you dive in is a whole lot of positivity, but also a quick reminder to pay attention to the lyricism as well. For us, it was easy to get lost in the fun and carefree attitude that the song evokes, however the lyrics aren’t to be passed over either. They’re thought provoking and delivered flawlessly from Haley; you can truly feel that she’s enjoying herself while giving a memorable performance.
At just a little under three minutes in total length, this is 100% a song we know we’ll be coming back to. As the first song from a band that’s new on the scene, they’ve also legitimately got us patiently waiting for whatever they cook up nex. As long as it’s in the same vein as “Happiness”, there’s a pretty solid chance we’re going to love it just as much!
With that being said, once again we recommend you check it out immediately. You can also stay up to date with Project 1268 by following them on their social media below. Enjoy!
