Returning with his first music of 2024, Thom Southern presents HEY WHAT’S HAPPENIN?. The enigmatic Irish songsmith delivers an explosive indie rock banger via his indie label Mighty Good Leader. This track bursts with infectious urgency, boasting pulsating looped drums, audacious fuzzy guitars, and ear-worm hook vocal chants. Thom Southern explains the song as capturing an overwhelming instantaneous connection between two strangers, infused with Belfast’s unique vernacular.
Co-written with musician Stevie Scullion, the track channels the spirit of teenage jam sessions, reminiscent of Dinosaur Jr.’s rock and roll energy and Beck’s alt rock pop expressionism. HEY WHAT’S HAPPENIN? is a raw, fierce, and uncut indie rock gem.
