Life’s a beach Anticipated albums of 2023

Easy Life, a band formed in Leicester, England, has grown to capture the hearts of many of us in recent years. Forming and debuting their first single ‘Pockets’ in 2017, Easy Life has grown appreciably and has continued to grow ever since.

After placing second in the 2020 edition of ‘BBC Sound Of…’ – an annual music poll of music critics and industry figures to find the most promising of upcoming music talent – their audience and popularity skyrocketed. Their debut album, ‘Life’s a Beach’ (2021) reached the number two spot on the UK Albums Chart. Their second album, ‘Maybe in Another Life…’ (2022) also reached the number two spot on this chart, just like their first album. Since then, they have gained many fans from across the country — and possibly around the world.

Gig at the De La Warr Pavilion

different colours and patterns which changed and fluctuated between each song, a personal favourite being the whirlpool patterns that moved across the ceiling. They also had a lot of interaction with the audience, for example, the lead guitarist - and very talented trombone player Sam Hewitt, made frequent crowd appearances, by weaving his way through the audience whilst playing the guitar. Impressive, to say the least.

Overall, we had a wonderful night and we thoroughly enjoyed the gig and the performance, including the opening act, Sad Night Dynamite. It exceeded our expectations by far and it will definitely be a night we will not forget, especially being crushed in the moshpit!

2023 has some of the most anticipated album releases that the music industry has seen for years, for example ‘This is Why’ by Paramore. This is their first album since 2017’s ‘After Laughter’. Their main single, which is also the name of their album, has reached #3 on the US Rock Billboards and #15 on the US Hot Rock & Alternative charts. Fans have been looking forward to the release of their new album, after waiting nearly six years! Their new album ‘This is Why’ was released on February 10th, 2023.

Waterparks have recently been promoting their fifth studio album ‘Intellectual Property’. This is one of the most exciting and looked-forward-to of their releases. After their successful fourth title, ‘Greatest Hits’, we have more of a mix of genres to look forward to in the coming months. Their singles ‘SELF-SABOTAGE’, ‘Funeral Grey’ and ‘F*** About it’ have given fans a look at what the new release has to offer. ‘Intellectual Property’ comes out in the Spring of 2023.
